I'm full of gas and have a pain on my left side under my rib cage. My stool is black, and I've been taking Gas-X and Maalox while changing my diet to avoid greasy foods. The pain is not as severe as it was initially. Should I be worried about the black stool?

I am experiencing pain in the upper area under my right armpit, slightly lower and wrapping around to my back. My doctor suspects shingles due to the burning pain, but I haven't seen any sign of a rash. How long can it take for the rash to appear, and can you have shingles without getting the rash on the outside of the skin?
