Why Is My Stool Dark In Colour?
I had a very dark stool unload much similar to colour of coffee - I am taking milk thistle and vitamins right now would it be from that, usually dark stool is from the colon no? Unless its from the toxins from the liver being cleaned by the milk thistle

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the dark color of stool is there it could be due to diet taken but just to rule out the possibility of blood stain stool it needs to be sent for testing that is the best option is there to clear the doubt, again if you do not have any symptoms then it is nothing to worry long last symptoms demands the medical attention hope this information helps.
