since my rp has been upped my poop has black flecks in it. not alot of them but some. i have sibo and so i thought it was either die off or just unabsorbed herbs. dr boazed asked if it looks like coffee grinds and could be internal bleeding and said i might need a lower gi. i want to avoid that. has anyone else experienced the black flecks?
Yes, I've experienced this as
Yes, I've experienced this as well. I've had digestive issues for years and have had black flecks off and on the whole time. Before I started this protocol, I was on a strict low oxalate diet and as a result, spent a lot of time on a low oxalate forum. Black flecks in stool was a VERY frequent topic of discussion. Of course, nobody had a real answer, just a lot of guessing. I don't know what it is, but you're not alone!
Thank you. I am glad I am
Thank you. I am glad I am not alone. Has dr brizman every said anything to you about them?
Atraylor, you can get test
Atraylor, you can get test strips testing for blood at your pharmacy. It doesn't sound like a GI bleed to me. Trust me the smell is horrific! Eww! When I have had some major die off my poop turned completely black, very disturbing, but Dr. M wasn't alarmed said so much comes out in our stool and can change many colors. I would avoid the colonoscopy, it took me a long time to recover from the go lightly (there is nothing light about that stuff!) Get the test strips to help ease your mind!
Heres a link for the test
