A member asked:
I had small amount of black in stool once and next time the stool was all brown was that a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding? no other symptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can turn the feces black,but it does so throughout the feces, not just in part of it. A small speck of black may simply be some black ingested food passing through.
