What Do Black Particles In Stool Indicate?
I had these tiny black seeds in stool, upon taking one out and then cutting it open the inside was a tannish color. The black peeled off sort if like how a "skin" from a peanut. I also have a very weird diet in which ive obly eaten like grilled cheeses for the past few months. Maybe some pizza.

Hi,
Please, do not worry. It is most likely related to the food that you consumed. Usually, seeds of fruits and vegetables are not digested in the gastrointestinal system and appear in the stool black in color.
Try to change your diet and observe your stool. If those black seeds still appear in your stool 48 hours after your new diet, you should consult your doctor to have a stool test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
