What causes coffee ground poop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood: Although other causes of dark, black or coffee ground stools can sometimes confuse the picture, it is essential to get tested for blood passing through the GI tract. If there is no blood, then consider iron supplements, pepto-bismol or certain foods as the cause. Good luck.
