Ruchie, I don't know why I didn't remember this -- maybe because it happened a hundred years ago -- but a light just went on in my head as I was sleeping, and I bolted out of bed and ran over here to the computer.
Have you been eating a lot of iron? Maybe taking an iron supplement? Long before I had my colonoscopy, I had exhibited all the symptoms of IBS, so my regular doctor sent me to a GI specialist who thoroughly examined me, you know, doing the Dr. JellyFinger routine, and commented that my poop was black. At first I was alarmed -- until he asked me if I was eating a lot of iron, and then I told him about the supplements I was taking. My regular doctor had discovered I was anemic, so I was taking a supplement, which, according to the GI specialist, caused my poo to be black. Any chance you've been taking in a lot of iron lately?
Bev.
