Re: detailed poop question

[Guest guest]

Both of my celiac sons had dark stools at the beginning of the diet

which followed with their first solid stools of their lives. It was

so strange to see both of them following the same patterns

stoolwise. They have not had dark stools since the first month of

SCD. I believe Elaine told me at the time it was a sign of die-off.

That could be. This particular child has had diarrhea most of his

life but pretty good stools since SCD. He has only a few times had

marble poop. This last time was after a night of vomiting. I think

he had the flu as opposed to food because the next day I was horribly

sick. I could not even lift my head off the pillow. It was

surprising to see though because I was expecting diarrhea.

When people take Pepto Bismal (not SCD legal) the Bismuth causes dark stools.

Dark stools can be an indication of internal bleeding.h

Here is a medical reference. Note hemmorroids can be the cause.
