liver and blackPudding

[Prettywoman73]

I had liver today and black pudding , and for some reason I started getting cramps then I had to rush to the toilet, i had diarrhoea and it seemed like it was very dark brown , can anyone tell me if eating liver and black pudding can make your stools be dark in colour as I’m a little worried , without sounding horrible my bottom is on fire after having this episode thanks

Not sure how you landed here to post - did you mean to post on the IBS forum?

Even with diarrhoea in IBS it would still take some time for a liver and black pudding dinner to get to the other end but yes, if it was a few hours later, the black pudding could make stool very dark. Black pudding is made with blood. Not sure about liver but it probably could too, Maybe someone got the recipe for the black pudding wrong and added more spices than usual?

I’ve got ibs and a few weeks ago I really soiled myself 😵‍💫 what a mess I was in .No control whatsoever fortunately I was in the car outside sports Center,so got back into car and drove straight back home. I just thought if I was on the bus 🤷🏽‍♂️😱

So I was due to go on vacation on a cruise at end of week panic!!

Docters next day finger up bum and request for two samples of you know what

😱😲on cruise one day playing Rumi e cub had to go very urgent,it’s a good thing it was not engaged 😵‍💫🥵 whoosh that was it .

A few days later on shore feeling not good atall with a two hour bus ride back to the ship needed a plan 😲so from chemise bought Imodium instant 😀 I now call them my magic pills. Very good to have in your locker (with you allways

Just one more thing to share. Got a text on cruise from docter.

SAMPELS CIEARE ENJOY YOURE CHRUIS. i thought haw nice. 😛

Beetroot crisps have a dreadful affect on my pee.

eek! If it was an instantaneous response, it sounds like the old gastro colic reflex. Babies outgrow it once they are weaned, but unfortunately the response sometimes reappears in adulthood for people with IBS. If that is the case, immodium is your friend. I only know about this because when I was at my worst, I couldn't even shop for food without setting it off, I didn't even need to eat anything. Though as someone else commented, even with an over reactive IBS gut, your liver and back pudding would normally take a wee while to wander down to the other end. There are other foods that will colour your poop, red wine can be quite bad. Are you sure it wasn't something that you ate the day before? Whatever the cause, if it persists, you really should speak with your doctor. Any change in bowel habit needs to be checked out.

Yes, I did wonder about the GCR ...

And, without going into too much detail, I can personally confirm that gastric emptying time and transit is shockingly fast.
