What Causes Black Stool Despite A Good Fiber Diet?
My stool texture is black what might be the cause. Only change in diet is that I started taking a lot of fibre by means of salad and fruits including dry as well. I am also taking rosave 5 tablet to reduce my cholesterol and melmet 500 sr to keep my sugar level in control. Sugar level is well below 100.

Dear-thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise.It is important to evaluate the time that you have been with black stools and get a sample of it for occult blood evaluation. It might be related to the diet but it can be a sign of occult bleeding from a duodenal or gastric ulcer.I advise you to tell your doctor about this .
