Spinach is high in iron and this may cause stools to appear black. However, in my experience, I have another explanation. I juice a lot of spinach, enough to sometimes make an 8 ounce glass of juiced produce, that includes fruits, green (unless I add some beet). Drinking all that deep green from the spinach can have a striking effect on the color of your stools. One day I noticed my BMs were nearly blackânot like the color of coal, but near black enough to grab my attention. I had ingested a larger-than-usual amount of spinach.
Stool passed after eating these foods may be dark brown, bluish, reddish, or black. Iron supplements and medications containing bismuth subsalicylate, a common ingredient in anti-diarrhea medications, can also turn the stool dark or black.
