Question

I'm worried about my mom. This morning, she noticed her stool was black, and I can't help but be concerned. She's been going to the bathroom a lotlike 34 timesbut there's no diarrhea or pain. Should I be worried about this? Plus, the last month has been really tough for her since she hasn't been eating or sleeping well after my uncle died. Does this sound normal, or should we be looking into what's going on with her? What could be the reason for the black stool?

Question

I've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
