Dark spots in stools what is big dark spots in stools most likely? the general color is not dark but there are dark spots. thank you

You : You are most likely seeing undigested food particles. Otherwise if there is a possibility this could be blood you should see your doctor. More history and stool studies and an examination may be in order. Good luck.
