Does drinking juices turn your stool a dark color?
I noticed a couple days ago that my stool was a real dark color. Could drinking juices have anything to do with that?
Sara says:
Dark stool is really just "old fecal matter" that has been in your gastrointestinal tracts for a long time but had no way of being eliminated. When being purged, it is usually accompanied by a foul odor.
By drinking fresh juices, it is giving your intestines and colon a good "scrub" by "loosening" the old hardened fecal matter to be expelled. So count it all good when you eliminate dark stools after juicing, as long as there is no blood in the stools. Dark stools with blood are an entirely different situation which would require immediate medical attention.
