Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a type of tumor that begins in the digestive tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. The exact cause is unknown but could be due to gene mutations that cause the normal cells to turn into cancer cells and grow. Risk factors include age over certain inherited genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis and hereditary retinoblastoma.
Typical Symptoms of GIST
- Black, shiny stool
- Blood in stool
- Nausea or vomiting after eating
- Skin or eyes turning yellow
- Stool has become narrower in caliber, like a pencil
- History of stomach ulcer
- Vomited blood
- Swollen lymph nodes, usually small swellings at the neck, armpits, groin and behind the ears
Diagnostic Questions for GIST
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are your stools black and shiny like hair?
- Do you have blood in your stool?
- Do you feel nauseous or throw up right after eating?
- Are your eyes or skin turning yellow?
- Is your stool thin and narrow like a pencil?

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
