TMI - Toddler poo colour

4 replies

Tootsieglitterballs · 20/07/2016 12:44

Hello,

Advance warning of a poo post...

Toddler had what I would call a black poo this morning. Is that something I should mention to the GP/HV? Or is there something blatantly obvious that could have caused it?

Probably being a bit PFB , but we had to get him checked recently due to having blood in his poo , but all came back clear.

He hasn't eaten blueberries (but did have a small carton of blackcurrent juice yesterday)

Thank you in advance!

I would get it checked based on the fact he had blood in his poo recently, better to be safe. Not sure blackcurrent juice can affect poo colour.

P.s hope all is ok

I would go back to the gp for another check just to be on the safe side xx

Black poo is blood in poo, yes GP!
Good luck...
