Are small black flecks in toddler stool usually just food, or something to worry about. doesn't eat bananas.

Probably OK: Stool can have all sorts of colors. If your child has no and pain or other symptoms of illness this is probably some u digested food particles. White, red or severe black tarry stools are the colors to be concerned with!
