I know this may be for general discussion. But it has to do with roids. I been on a mild cycle for about 3.5 weeks and lately my stool is been black. This has never happened before and I am also feeling really tired which is also weird. Cause when I am on a cycle I usually am hyped all day long. I have also noticed that I am going to the bathroom alot of times aday. Could the black stool mean theres a problem with my liver or internal bleeding?

What kind of cycle are you on? Have you changed your diet or protein at all? Any pain?

Also have you increased or started an iron supplement?

A black stool caused by food, supplements, medication, or minerals is known as "false melena." Iron supplements, taken by many women to combat iron-deficient anemia, may cause stools to be black or even greenish in color. Multivitamins that contain iron may also have the same effect. In addition, foods that are dark blue or black in color may cause black stools. Substances that can cause false melena are:
•black licorice
•blueberries
•iron supplements
•lead
•Pepto-bismol

If the problem persists or pain is involved see your Dr, could be a ulcer or other things.

Being unusually tired and a dark stool could mean a problem. Like Scorpio says, stay on top of it and see a doc if you don't feel better.

I would go see a doc. Before you mention any gear, ask him if you can explain "off the record"

Seeing a doc is a good idea all around, but don't stress too much about it. All the protein gives me very dark, nasty, smelly shit. Has to do with the lactobacteria population in your bowels.
As the bros said above, it could be a problem, or it could be diet. See a doc to rule out the worst. goodluck

lets add plenty of vegetables to your diet. you'll look and feel better. that should add color back to your stool.

Any other Symptoms ?? Black stool and Lethargy could be caused by many things, if it persists any longer definately go see your Dr.

I agree. When red blood cells break down you get bilirubin, which includes iron. That iron colors your stool as scorpio pointed out.

So unless you started adding lead to your diet, the extra iron had to come from somewhere.

I've been alive a little longer than you, you'd be surprised of some of the weird things you pick up.

A year ago I got a rupture on the stomache wall doing heavy dead lifts on straight legs.
Ended up in the hospital for a few days because of an internal bleeding.
Pretty scary!
