I have recently noticed darker then normal stool and am alittle worried. I just started Floxotine gen for prozac 3 weeks ago, and have only had this problem the last week or so. The only thing I can think of is that I have had oreos late at night. Thats the only thing I eat that would be diff than last 2 months. any info would help.

Hold off on the oreos for a few days. Look on drugs.com to see if your medication might have that side effect.

Yes, what you eat can effect stool color. Now for the humorous reply:
I'm not sure why you would mix stool with your oreos, I would think they taste better with milk or coffee.

Oreos def don't cause this problem. Are you taking any iron supplements or a multivitamin with iron in it?? 2 much iron can cause this. Theres also many other serious problems that can cause black stool. Check out this link http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/black_stool.htm

Try eating beetroot and stools will be reddish there's a definite link between the co lour of your food and the colour of your stools.~~

No oreos don't do this to you. Get this checked out at the docs as you may have some bleeding somewhere.
