What's with the black, sticky shit?

Stool black slimy may be related to dietary factors, drug factors, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and other reasons.

1, dietary factors

Eating darker foods may lead to darker stool color, such as black sesame, black beans and other foods. If you also eat more water content of food or drink a lot of water, it may lead to increased moisture content in the stool, and then become slimy.

2. Drug factors After

taking ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate and other iron agents, the iron element in them will combine with hydrogen sulfide in the intestinal tract and produce black iron sulfide, making the stool appear black. If you also take antibiotics such as clarithromycin and amoxicillin, it may stimulate the intestinal tract and cause intestinal secretions to increase, thus making the stool sticky.

3. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding After upper gastrointestinal bleeding,

blood will enter the intestinal tract and be oxidized and decomposed by bacteria. In the process, black iron sulfide will be produced, thus making the stool black. At the same time, due to the mixing of blood and feces, it will be diluted and then slimy.
