A member asked:
Does eating too much meat makes your poop black? or eating too much protein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends:: Eating red meat usually won't cause black stools. But it's possible that eating large amounts of very rare meat might contain enough blood to cause black stools. As blood travels through the GI tract it turns stool black(melena).
