What Does Black Grit In Stool Indicate?

Hello. I've been noticing black grit in my stool. Last Wednesday I had what I thought was a flu--aches and upset stomach. I vomited only once which was bile and the last bit had a black grit (smaller than a dime) in it. Now I see the grit for the last couple days in my stool. I stopped eating meat 4 weeks ago and have been eating a balanced nutritional diet and walking regularly. I feel great otherwise.

HI
Well come to HCM
I had gone through the history given here, the color and consistency of the stool is depends upon the diet taken, if you do not have any symptoms then it is nothing to worry least concern what you see in stool, if go on observing the fecal material like that only then it may give you some weird ideas or thinking.
The only option is there to clear the doubt is to get done the stool lab examination without this it can not be ruled out any doubt, if you are feeling good then it is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
