When to see a doctor
- Call 911 now: bleeding from your butt that will not stop, or a lot of blood or clots. Severe belly pain, or vomiting blood.
- Urgent care or your doctor today: black or dark red poop, or bloody diarrhea. Black, tarry poop: 911 or the ER.
- Your doctor: diarrhea that lasts more than 7 days, or blood or slime in your poop.
- Your doctor: belly pain or bloating that keeps coming back, or losing weight without trying.
- Your doctor: low iron on a blood test, or a parent, brother or sister with bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Your doctor: gut symptoms for over 4 weeks, for a celiac blood test and a poop test for inflammation.
- Fermented food brings on headache, a rash or bloating again and again: stop it and see your doctor.

Talk to a physician who has your history before any medicine or supplement. Blood in your poop, black poop, or weight loss without trying: see a doctor first.
