Are Black Specs In Stools Suggestive Of Parasites?

I have black sesame seed like things in my poo. My poo comes out soft and is a light brown. I am also on my period if that may be a factor. My poo comes out like a fart but isn t diarrhea but a close second. I had potatoes but they were boiled through. I live in Canada and I haven t been anywhere tropical. I had kiwis thinking those might be it but I don t know. Do I have a parasite
