Small dark specks in stool?

[kevin1986]

Hm,

Found this explanation online.

Black specks may be seeds, foods, or from die off of yeast or bacteria.

If you start any supplement that might create looser stools, temporary diarrhea, or die-off of yeast or bacteria (like an antibiotic, probiotic, digestive enzymes, antifungal, laxative, etc), you might see dark or black flecks in stool during this 'cleaning out' period. Certain types of adverse bacteria in the colon can produce dark residues and this is getting cleaned out.

Anyone experience this? I have for a week.

Your stool is going to change with raw food. You should be passing bulkier, softer stools with all kinds of food particles in it. I don't worry as long as I am not in pain and feel great.
