Dark stools: [was Re: Re dosage of milk thistle

[Guest guest]

I found an answer to my question:

Diet

# Look to the diet. Consume a lot of high iron cereals, leafy

vegetables, red meat / beef, cashews, almonds, beans, liver, walnuts,

clams, salmon, rasins, shrimp, tofu, or spinach? Excessive iron as a

part of one's diet can lead to the excretion of black stool. Just

because an individual has eaten a lot of foods with iron doesn't mean

that it's safe to rule out the possibility of a physiological problem.

It can be a lot of bad things, but since it coincides with changing my

diet, I'm choosing this (benign) cause.
