I've just been to the loo and the results were literally bleak. Hmm what does it mean? Completely black, I tell you.

Black poo? Eaten anything black?
If like coffee grounds, you need a doctor as could be internal bleeding but would have thought you would also feel ill.

Could it have been very dark green, rather than black?

Have you taken an iron supplement?

Have you been taking iron?

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 08/12/2013 17:48

Did you drink a lot of red wine or Guinness last night? Either of those give me lovely black poo!

I would get this checked out unless there is an obvious cause based on medication or something you have eaten.

Thanks everyone! Yes, back in iron after 2 weeks of break (couldn't get to the chemist). And had a coffee too. I started to suspect the sushi I had earlier.

There was a tinge of green I noticed as I cleaned the toilet bowl.

It's doctor prescribed ferritin.

I'd think it's the iron then. But do get it checked if it keeps up.

Iron gives you black poo.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 08/12/2013 19:17

It's not any old black poo,
It's an M&S iron green tinge black poo.
