Constipation : You might try MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) to soften the soil and avoid straining. If that is too strong the n go back to a stool softener. Your styles should look like banana board not have any round in them an you should not be straining

Question 10

what types of food could cause black dots in stool?

Accepted Answer

Seeds, blood...: Dark-colored stools may result from iron supplements, foods you eat (like a lot of spinach), substances (like peptobismol), but most significantly suggests bleeding. When blood is denatured by acid in your stomach, as from ulcers, stools will turn tarry ("melena"). Blood may also be ingested from nose bleeds, bleeding gums... Persistent melena (without obvious cause) ; symptoms warrants md visit.
