A member asked:
I eat a lot of spinach during the week and ate a bunch last night. i had two dark stools this morning. could that be the cause?

Could be, but...: Your stool color can be affected by what you have eaten, but one must be careful with dark stools. Black stools, particularly when foul-smelling and pasty, can be a sign of internal bleeding. If you are uncertain whether this could be due to bleeding, see your doctor or go to the emergency room immediately. Good luck.
