I woke up Having black stools?!


Question: I woke up Having black stools.?
last night I had normal colored stools but today in the morning they appeared black or dark brown. Should I be concerned.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
There are a number of things that can cause your stools to be black. Here are some of them:

-iron supplements
-dark colored foods such as blueberries, licorice
-certain supplements
-bleeding somewhere in your digestive system (gut)

Should you be concerned.? Yes. I suggest that you go to your medical doctor and get checked out to see if internal bleeding is causing your stools to be black. If there is blood loss somewhere, then it is ideal to get that taken care of so that your iron levels do not go too low. It is also important to find the cause because internal bleeding could be a sign of another disorder. Check the link I put below for disorders that could cause black stools. Hope that helps!
