I'm having black stools and I'm worried it might be because of some damage to my rectum from anal sex. Should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about this? It's a little embarrassing to talk about.

I don't know what's going on, but every morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to puke. No matter what I try to eat or drink, even if it's just milk, I end up throwing up. It's really tough because I can't stand any food smells early in the day. Do you have any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

It sounds like you may be dealing with morning sickness or a digestive issue. Try having small sips of water or ginger tea in the morning before any food, and avoid strong smells. If this continues, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
