A. Black - Dark, black stool are one of the most concerning stools but not always. It can be an indication that there's bleeding somewhere higher in the stomach or intestines. If the child has other symptoms, they should be seen fairly quickly.For example, beets and artificial fruit juice can make the poop red, while licorice, blueberries and Pepto-Bismol® can make it black. All babies have black stools called meconium for the first few days of life. However, most of the time red or black stools are a concern for gastrointestinal bleeding.It may mean their liver isn't making enough bile to digest the food. Poop that is tarry black. There may be blood in their digestive tract that has turned dark as it traveled through the intestines.Consult your doctor if you're concerned about your stool color. If your stool is bright red or black — which may indicate the presence of blood — seek prompt medical attention. Food may be moving through the large intestine too quickly, such as due to diarrhea.
