I'm dealing with chronic gas issues and lately, it's been causing me breathing problems too. It gets better when I pass gas, so I'm wondering, is there any chance that the gas is somehow affecting my windpipe?

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?

it may be due to dehydration if still pending sists consult physicisn and stool culture sample
