Very dark, hard stools (almost black)?

Question

I have a problem with constipation. I have had it for almost 2 years now. I have been on prescribed medication for the past year. When I don't take it, I usually go every 4-5days. When I do. it's probably every other day. Anyway, I went to the toilet today and my stools were very dark and hard. They were almost black. Why is this? What should I do? I'm really worried.

Answer 2

What you eat can affect this. If you eat white breads, that will contribute to constipation. Eat lots of grains, juice will help also, and just natural stuff, fiber, salads, etc. I have problems with that also, but eating healthy helps big time for me. Hope this helps!

Black stools caused be caused from many thing from a colon problem to large doses of iron vitamins, or eating  leafy green veggies with alot of iron, such as spinach and mustard greens. I suggest you try Miralax for your constipation, it works very well, It's an over the counter powder you mix with water or juice and is tasteless.

get yourself to a doctor ASAP, this is the classic sign of bleeding.  The doc will do a simple test to look for blood and then you will probably be in line for a colonoscopy.
