Diarreah - black/dark, for 2 days now

[dietqueen]

DS was ill last week, sickness, cold, temperature. Took to Dr's and was thoroughly checked over - no infection, viral.

Last 2 days he has picked up and appetite has returned and he seems well but has now developed diarreah which is very dark, almost black.

Tonight it has turned more brownish - Im giving lots of liquids to avoid dehydration, should I be concerned?

Is it loose or is it water?

It's watery I'd say - like a running tap!

Sorry i say that only because, as he is getting over an illness i wouldn't be overly concerned if it is loose, but if it is water then i would assume it is more likely he has picked up another bug which is likely if his immune system is low due to other illnesses.

hth

WE havent been out in a week only to the Dr's - the surgery was heaving so Im assuming he's caught it from there!

Will see what tomorrow brings - thanks for replying
