i know this isnt exactly a godo subject to talk about on here but can supplements cause black stool? just got out of the bathroom and seen my stool was brown and black any info would greatly help me from freaking out lol

Black might be a sign of blood but it is also a side effect of Iron. I really don't know. You could stop supplement for a few days and see what happens.

What supps are you taking? NSAIDS like ibuprofin (and especially aspirin) irritate the lining of the stomach, and also thin the blood ... resulting in stomach bleeding. Do you take gingko? Or garlic supps? Those also thin the blood, and if you have an already existing ulcer, those supps can promote bleeding. I am not a doctor, but if you have stomach pain or continue to have black tarry stool, then you should consult a doctor about that. Ulcers can be serious.

im on gnc 100% whey protein and i just recently stopped taking extagen

Did Extagen work? :confused: I don't think either would affect bowel movement. Look elsewhere.

You should see your doctor ASAP. Black stool (as Rtestes mentioned) can be a sign of some sort of internal bleeding.

yes extagen worked, as far as seeing a doctor was going to wait till my next bowel movement to see if it was there again

last2 bowel movements have had no black in them .. maybe coudl have ate something that messed with my system?

Pepto Bismol and some of the other ant-acids etc can turn stool black- not sure what ingredient does that. Anti-diarhea meds too.

Eating alot of whey protein gives me alot "darker" stool, not sure if its bad but I don't feel any different, the whey I eat is chocolate so..

Maybe its the whey? Do you eat chocolate flavored whey?
