Is it normal to have black flakes mixed throughout stool in toddler? still otherwise normal. hemocult neg a few months ago. still worried.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black stool flakes: These flakes may be normal if you are breastfeeding and you are getting blood mixed in with the breas milk. It could be something in baby food as well. However, are you breastfeeding and have you experienced nipple cracking and bleeding. Keep the pediatrician in the loop however and report any changes at all.
