I'm sorry for the gross content, but I have a question. I had what appears to be charcoal? in my stool.

I know it's not really charcoal, but that is the best way I can describe it. It was black and looked and broke apart just like charcoal.

thanks for the input

hmmm new one on me. unless it was impacted and just broke loose or something.

now if your stools are really black, that could be blood from the upper gi track. red in the stool is lower down.

I was thinking that it may have been impacted from somewhere, or the remainder of pills or something that didn't get fully absorbed...just figured I'd see if anyone else had seen/heard of this.

Could be upper gi blood or you've been taking pepto bismol.

Description sounds like the mucor lining. This is the toxic garbage that has clung to the wall of our colons over our lifetime of eating unhealthy food.

Have you started a new regime of any type detox for colon, liver etc? Changed your diet? Usually there's a reason why the colon is letting this toxic matter go.

Last year I started one of the new soy vitamin rich based shakes to loose some weight. It worked. Weight starting dropping off. I only used it for sub of lunch.

After 30 days all of my mucor lining must have dumped at the same time and I had an impacted bowel. I never want to experience that again. I lost 5 pounds in one night, when the impact finally passed. Oh my!!!!!

nhlyme, this could be a good thing.

Yeah, I didn't think it was bad...I was guessing it might be some nasty buil-up...I've increased my fiber/fruit intake and been on Para-stroy for a while...maybe I just knocked some gunk loose.
