Is there a color of diarrhea that I should be worried about?

The color of your poop (stool) can vary. Stool color can be influenced by the color of the food you eat. Usually, this isn’t something you need to worry about. But if you ever see red (blood) in your stool or have a bowel movement that is black, that could be something more serious. Keep a record of any bowel movements that:

• Are black and tarry.
• Have blood or pus in them.
• Are consistently greasy or oily despite non-fatty meals.
• Are very foul-smelling.
