Can Black Raspberries Cause Black Stool?

Can black raspberries cause black stool? I have been eating a lot of them, and when I accidentally ate something that never sits comfortably with me, I had diarrhea with black stool (not tarry, just regular diarrhea). I do suffer from mild Crohn s disease located in my terminal ileum , but I have no other symptoms of a flare and have been taking my control medications properly.

dont worry. staining after eating fruits with phytochemicals is common. only if you have cramps, diarrhoea or bloody stools , you need to rule out food allergy.
