Black watery poop!!?

My 17 month old son just had a very disgusting massive diaper with black watery poop! I've read black poop can be a sign of internal bleeding, too much iron and change of diet..we haven't changed anything with his diet so that's not it I don't think. He does get half a flinstone multi vitamin daily with his lunch per his pedis suggestion but he's been taking that almost a month and never had any poop issues like this. It's not tarry or coffee ground consistency so I'm not sure it's to do with internal bleeding. He's acting like his normal pain the butt self lol.. He doesn't seem like he's in pain and he isn't running a fever.. Should I be concerned or just wait it out to see if this continues?????

i would wait to see if it continues. if your really concerned, you can call dr after hours but they will probably tell you to just bring him in. good luck. could he be teething by chance?

He could be but he's never had black poop before when teething just the normal runny teething poop lol

if he appears to be fine, its probably something he ate. have you fed him any black beans, blue berries, black berries or olives in the last few days? sometimes there are foods that will make your bm darker.

When LO gets really constipated it's black, but not watery.

Maybe it's just something he ate? Call the DR and ask.

Nope he's never had any of those.. He had 2 Oreos today I read the black dye could also cause it but didnt think 2 Oreos would affect him that much..

I'm going to see if he does it anymore and possibly have my husband take him in tomorrow while I'm at work

might not be from today maybe a few days ago but if hes fine i would monitor him, cut out all dark foods like that and see what happens in the next couple days. hes probably fine. like i said your the mommy so if your really worried, call doc or take him into er.
