What’s the matter with the poo turning black?

Dr. Ke, hello. This morning, I got up in a daze and went to the queen size. When I was done and turned around to flush the toilet, I saw that the Baba turned out to be black! How is this going? Does it matter?

The normal stool of a person is generally yellow, and the stool is black. Generally, the following two situations are considered first:

1. Before Did you eat any iron-rich foods that day? For example, animal liver, pig blood (pig red), chicken blood, duck blood, beef and so on. These foods all form iron sulfide in our guts, which makes stool black. Dark green vegetables may also cause darkened stools.

2. Have you taken iron supplements for blood? For example, ferrous lactate tablets, etc., also have the same effect. If you meet the above conditions, don’t worry too much. This is a normal reaction, and then you can pay attention to a balanced diet. But if it does not meet, it is necessary to pay attention, it may be caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended that you observe the color of the next few stools to see if it is still black, and pay attention to whether you have anemia, such as dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, paleness, etc. If the black stool does not decrease, or it is accompanied by anemia, it is necessary to go to the hospital for gastroenterology or anorectal treatment in time.

Remember: Repeated black stools should not be ignored!
