What Causes Black Seed Like Stuff In Stool Of 14 Month Baby?
Hi. I have noticed that my 14 month old son has theses black seed-looking specks in his stool. It has small ridges on each of the seeds . He hasnt eaten anything with black seeds in it. There were many of them in it and I am wondering what this could be. He isn t having abdominal pain or lethargic. Nothing seems to be wrong with him. Could it be a parasite.

Such black seed like stuff may be due to iron fortified formula, undigested parts of veggies, seeds etc.
Or more seriously they may be due to upper gastrointestinal bleed which turns black till it reaches rectum.
You may ask your doctor for stool examination to ascertain exact cause of such complaint.
