Like my shit is seriously black...like charcoal black and I don't know whats going on. This has never happened to me before - usually its brown or green but never black. Please do not try and be racist or crude etc. but is this normal?
If you're not taking iron tablets or bismuth, then it is usually a sign of bleeding somewhere in your digestive system (digested blood is black). I'd go to the doctor, they can check a sample with a simple test to find out. Definitely better to get this one checked out sooner rather than later, trust me!
I used to have an iron deficiency and mine was sort of pale. Now I have an iron excess, and it is black. It is a good thing.
It could be dried or old blood, so go to your dr. Most likely just dietary though.. So don't panic!!
It'll go blacker if you have a lot of iron in your diet. Or drink Guinness.
