Please help! Dark brown strands in stool. Could it be the oreos I ate?
Probably not. Some foods cause your stool to change color but oreos should not cause the stool changes you describe. I wouldn't worry if this issue occurred 1 time, but if you notice stool changes for more than a few days, see your doctor.
