Black poo 11 month old (pics included)

[Dn11995]

Hi everyone,

my little girl loves blueberries so has had some last night and this morning. She has had 2 black poos this morning which I know can be caused by diet and food like blueberries, or something more serious.

like I say, she loves blueberries so has always eat them but never had this before so slightly worried.

any thoughts?

How old? Does she have an iron supplement?

One of my boys loved blueberries and would do dark purplish poos the next day. What else had she eaten?

This happened to my little girl and hers was from an iron supplement.

She's not on any iron supplement & she's 11 months. And not eaten anything out of the ordinary at all, just blueberries last night and again this morning

We get this from blueberries all the time.

Blueberries!

I wouldn’t be so quick to say blueberries as black poo can be something serious.

Try cutting the blueberries today and tomorrow and see if the poos go back to normal.

My DD eats blueberries every day (it's such an expensive bloody habit), and I have never seen a poo that colour. Nothing even close to resembling that colour. If it continues, or is accompanied by any other symptoms, I really would see a doctor OP as it doesn't look right to me

That looks too dark for blueberries. Blueberries aren't actually black, they're more a purplish pink raspberry colour, the colour that appears when you blend them. Also, weird poo caused by food often has a "tint" in the areas where it's smeared on the diaper, usually dark green or dark brown.

DD is older and the only time she had poos resembling that colour was after eating something with a ton of synthetic food colouring (eg black Oreo macarons). Is there any chance she might have eaten a crayon, chewed a pen, eyeliner pencil or ingested something with black pigment inside?

Please get this looked at by a doctor. I would call first thing tomorrow. Black poo can be due to a bleed in the GI tract. It could be nothing but get it checked.
