Little black bits in BM's

[Grant]

Having terrible diarrhea ATM, & in amongst it there are little black current sized bits. Had a Colonoscopy last week & they took 6 biopsys. Just wonder if this could be dried blood. Cant be currants or anything like that, I'm on extreme low fibre diet now.
Anyone else get this @ all.

I tend to get black flecks which I believe is blood from my small intestine.

Occassionally I can't decide whether its vegetable/fruit skin though as often bits of that can go undigested.

If your colonoscopy was last week then I would be fairly sure the biopsy snips would have healed by now, or at least be well past the bleeding stage.

Black anything in poo is usually blood if you can't think of a food it might be.

Tks, I'll keep an eye on it.
