A member asked:
I had a colonoscopy and a polyp was removed friday morning. i had my first bm this morning and it was very dark. do i need to contact my gi?

No: Totally normal. Could be dark from a little bleeding from the polyp removal site, or from the colonoscopy preparation. If it persists for a week, give your GI a call.
