What to do if very dark brown stool, scared! worried!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you feel: healthy? Black , tarry, malodorous stool or maroon stool could be due to GI bleeding. Brown stool -usually isn't as much of a concern. If you are worried - you doctor can very easily test for blood in feces. take care.
