Question: What kinda foods are so high in iron that they could be making my poop black?
Answers:

False Melena

A black stool caused by food, supplements, medication, or minerals is known as "false melena." Iron supplements, taken alone or as part of a multivitamin for iron-deficiency anemia, may cause stools to be black or even greenish in color. Foods that are dark blue or black in color may also cause black stools. Substances that can cause false melena are:

Black licorice
Blueberries
Iron supplements
Lead
Bismuth (Pepto-bismol)

I highly doubt its iron, unless you are eating a ridiculously high amount. Probably eliminate whatever junk-food your diet consists of.



Vegetables can be high in iron.



Ugh spinach probably

Nails.

Honestly, any food if you eat in MASSIVE quanities :L bananas maybe
