Been pooping today and my poop was black which had me worried. Normally it's never black unless I'm drinking. So in a panic I googled it and of course you get all the same looking medical sites that alert you that you have severe stomach bleeding and are going to die at any second.
So I do what everyone is forced to do, add "reddit" to the end of my search term, and what do you know? It's the same shit on reddit. Someone has black stool and some redditor called "fartboxpuncher" tells them they're dying.
You have to dig through like 60 something same replies until you find someone who actually did have black stool and who's partner is a nurse. They said wait it out 24 hours and see if it doesn't go away, or it might be something you're eating.
Sucks that people are forced to put up with the highest upvoted "answers" being copy pasted from medline2line247.online.biz and not from someone with like actual first-hand advice.
And that's not to even mention the AI results which probably would tell me I'm turning into a lizard and I should drink gasoline.
One time I had black stool, but it turned out it was just because I'd eaten an entire box of oreos
LMAO actually yeah can confirm this as well thought i was dying nah just too many oreos
That's what I'm figuring that it might be something with my diet.
CW: self harm
!Something hilarious when I tried to OD they had me drink charcoal. It actually didn't taste too bad. It soaks up all the substances in your system so they don't have to pump your stomach. What surprised me was when I took a shit and it looked like crushed charcoal dust in water. Didn't smell but I freaked the fuck out when I saw it before I remembered EMTs gave me a few charcoal shakes.!<
Was a fun experience for the most part, really felt refreshed. Just wish it didn't come with hospitalization and bad thoughts.
Had beets last night and eveytime I get a heart attack after pooping

Its always beets
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It fucking sucks how unusable the internet has become for that sort of thing. Reddit swept up all the old forums, monopolized that kind of community discussion-based information and then completely enshittified it. Maybe I shouldn't say "completely" because they're still in the process of making it worse.
I hope you were able to eventually find information that satisfied you, but in case you didn't already see this elsewhere, it's not color alone that should necessarily be cause for concern, it's also consistency (and by that I mean texture, not regularity). If it's black but normal shape and texture for you, like many others here have said, it's reasonably likely just a matter of something you ate (like the chips you mentioned). However, if the consistency is also abnormal for you, especially if it's really tarry (black tar) then that may warrant telling a med professional irl about it.
CW: Abuse
My now-wife was previously in an abusive relationship and asked on the relationshipadvice sub for, well, relationship advice about this and all the redditors told her it was in her head, her fault, she needs to learn to work with him, etc. So yeah fuck that website and everybody who frequents it.
Had a similar experience
CW Abuse
I forget which subreddit it was, but I was talking about how I had finally made the decision to get out of an abusive relationship and break up with them. I was super anxious about it because I had been in the situation for over a year. Almost all the responses I got were saying I must have been the bad guy for being the one to break things off.
redditors when a man gets into a minor disagreement with their partner: you need to dump her brooo, you deserve so much better!
redditors when a woman is being abused:
I get that from blueberries, spinach, kale and or red wine. I've had a really nice salad and wine one time and it looked like sauron's fingers
It could be from iron supplementation, if you recently took nutritional iron. Mostly these things are idiopathic. If you have a secondary symptom or it lasts, go to urgent care asap.
If you have a secondary symptom or it lasts, go to urgent care asap.
That's what I was planning, give it another day if not have my dad drive me to urgent care. But outside of that I'm fine, just pooping a lot today.
Yeah I ate a bunch of blue food colored chips the other day so I'm chalking it up to that.
It's insane that reddit has become one of the last places online to get actual answers from humans, even if they're wrong like 90% of the time.
Not really related but I ate this pint of ice cream called chocolate galaxy or something all in one go that musta had a ton of black dye in it. I shit green for 4 days.
If you ate blueberries, that can cause your dump to be very dark. (speaking from experience)
Even my hobbyspace subreddits are going to shit and that was my justification to keep using it.
I missed out on both CTH and GenZedong era stuff actually. I was probably still a theory-less DemSoc pleb around the time all the drama happened. I mostly just skim my front page until my eyes can't roll anymore, delete a few subs that are now toxic or astroturfed, then go to either my current special interest or hop form hobby sub to hobby sub, then log off lol. Like, that's genuinely my browsing habit. But for the most part, right now it's mostly used for autism subs, web dev stuff, and X4
TMI I know but I think it's hilarious.
I've never seen any porn on reddit, like ever. Scout's honor.
It's actually funny because right now /r/itookapicture is seemingly imploding because it's become a dump spot for low effort quasi-porn nudes.
