Blueberries causing weird poop in LO?

Lynn07

Ok this may be TMI, but DS ate a bunch of blueberries yesterday with lunch.  This morning he pooped, and it was really dark in color (almost black) and kind of a weird consistency (not pasty, more flaky or something).  I can see some blueberry skin in it, too.  Whenever I see dark stool I freak out that it could be blood, but I think I can attribute this to the blueberries.  WDYT?

No worries, ds had blueberries this week too and he had black poop too. I mentioned it to my so too( ds's poop is always a hot topic in this house lol).

FYI - chickpeas makes gross poop too! I wont go into details lol

Sounds like DD when she eats blueberries.  Just wait until you feed him broccoli and blueberries in the same meal.  You have to see it to believe it.

Definitely blueberries cause weird poop.  I have seen a whole blueberry once as well.

My kiddo gets the same thing when he eats blueberries. And it STINKS. I almost don't want to feed them to him anymore because it is that bad!

That soiunds right.  DS hasn't had blueberries yet, but he has had strawberries... and they often give him stools like what you're describing.
