What does it mean if you have black stools and rectal pain?

Answer 1

The colon is an organ of elimination. Some of the food we eat goes undigested and remains in the colon. When it stays in, it cakes up in the digestive tract. Here it festers, decays, and turns black.

Estimates by fasting experts suggest that the average person has between 5 to 35 pounds of caked up, blackened, hardened, rotting, undigested food in their colon and digestive tract.

Answer 2

This can occur if you have been eating food which is heavy in dyes. Such as dark Indian sauces. Oreo Cookies also use a surprisingly dark dye for their cookies which can turn stools black.

In the worse case scenario, it could be dried blood.

Blood in stools is a sign of either haemorrhoids, internal anal damage or prostrate cancer. So if you are worried, you should see a doctor.

Answer 3

When black stool is caused by benign factors like eating certain foods like black licorice or taking an iron supplement, there is no need to worry. However, black stool can be caused by conditions like a bleeding ulcer, cancer, and gastrointestinal tract injuries. These conditions require medical attention.

Answer 4

Black stools often mean there is internal bleeding. Of course, certain foods like Dark Chocolate can darken the stools, and so can iron supplements. Internal bleeding can be caused from cancer, hemorrhoids, ulcers, ingested foreign objects, and even rough anal sex.

By all means, you should get an exam from a doctor unless you know that the cause is related to diet.

Answer 5

the wise thing to do would be to get it checked up by a doctor and undergo tests not ask an online community because it might cause severe bodily harm

Answer 6

Well, black stool could be due to blood in the feces. The pain might mean an ulcer. Time for a visit to the doctor.
