A member asked:
I have small black balls mixed in with my poop. looks like raisins in light brown stool. what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black pigment: Black pigment in stool can be due to blood from high in the digestive tract(stomach and duodenum) or medications like peptobismol or iron containing supplements. Light brown stool is usually associated with loose movements. Your physician can do an examination of a stool sample in the office and test it easily for hidden blood.
