Is it bad when your stool is black with tiny chunks of silver(it looks like actual metal) what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black stools: Black stools are not good. My guess is that the "silver" look is less black. Bleeding in your stomach can be a serious problem. Other causes are taking iron or peptobismol. If this is recent then see your doctor soon. If you are feeling weak then see your doctor now!
