Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for using HCM.
You are reporting to have dark and hard pieces mixed with stools. That may be related to :
-Chelation effects of substance (chelation agent) that you have eaten the past few days.
-change your diet using fruits with seeds/sea foods.
Otherwise, to give an accurate opinion I need to know more information like:
- have you change your diet recently?
- have you used fruits with seeds?
- have you used any supplements or medication recently?
Mean time I would like to suggest :
- avoid precook meals (with con servants and chelation agents)
- eat a healthy diet reach in fresh fruits and vegetables
- drink plenty of water
Wishing you all the best.
