Re: ?? about mold in toilet - Sharon K

[Guest guest]

Sharon, or anyone else who may have experience with this - can you elaborate

further on what may be causing this mold in the toilet problem? I ask

because it is a problem that I have experienced in " my " bathroom only - and it

is

a problem that did not exist before it became " my " bathroom. I have wondered

and commented to my husband that I can not figure out what could be causing

this constant staining in the toilet (I am a little fanatical about trying to

keep this clean and every couple of days the inside of the toilet is turning

black). Is this something else I should be concerned about and begin

investigating??

Sharon and Carl,

We did an experiment when we were dealing with our mold debacle that took

about 2 months to do. This is gross, but will tell you all anyway. My

daughter has aspergillosis and cystic fibrosis. Mold will grow on the rim of

her

toilet, just about a half an inch above the water line. For our experiment,

we

had only her use a particular toilet exclusively, had her switch toilets,

had her switch back, etc. (we were in a house with 4 bathrooms)

Mold would only grow in the toilets she used. No one else's in the family.

But, it took approximately 2 weeks before the mold growth occurred. It was

dark brown to black with green and white flecks.

Sure hope no one is eating their breakfast while reading this post.

It comes from my daughter's body. She would kill me if she knew I was

discussing this in such detail! But, one of the aspects of cystic fibrosis is

that they do not digest fat well. They have greasy stools. If she does not

clean her toilet for a couple of weeks, mold grows about a quarter to a half

inch above the water line.

It has been about 4 years since we actually observed this from an experiment

point of view. But, she has been home to visit (she is an adult now) and

has used a bath that never gets used. I could see evidence that this still is

occurring.

If you think it is you, clean your toilet and your husband's toilet with

bleach. Then, switch toilets for a few weeks. See if the black stains follow

you.

Sharon K,

If this comes from her body how does one go about getting mold out

their body? I took antifungals for awhile but then switched to

another product. If she still has mold in her body does it mean she

is stull very sick with residual from mold exposure?

From what I understood from Sharon's post, her sibling

has oily stools due to her illness. It is the stools

which make the toilet bowl more susceptable to

producing mold in less time than a normal person's

stools. The mold is not in the body but the oil in

the stools makes the mold, which is caused by her

illness...not sure if I got it right but that is how I

interputed it.
