∙ 9y agoYour faeces does change color. It could be black due to something that was in your diet. It could also be a sign of internal bleeding.
For instance, simply eating something like liquorice will change the colour of faeces black. Eating beetroot can add unusual pink colour to your urine, so almost anything you ingest will have effect the colour, texture and solidity of faeces.
Usually black or dark red lines horizontally in the stool indicates possible bleeding. The further up the intestine, the darker the colour is as the blood congeals.
Vertical lines usually of fresh red blood sometimes leaving a pink tinge in the toilet water indicate fissures (or splits) in the skin of the anus.
If it stays black for a number of days you should see a doctor.
