A member asked:

Been ok. dirrhea earlier looks more like mud. why would it look muddy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dark stools: If the stools are black and you didn't take iron or peptpbismol, blood from the upper GI tract may be the reason. A simple stool test in your physicians office can be done to check for occult blood in the stools.
