What Causes Frequent Bowel Movement And Dark Colored Stools?

My stools have started to get very dark and I have been going #2 more often. Also, I have been drinking tons of water and not going number 1 very often. I started taking 3oz. of sea buckthorn juice since Saturday, is this the cause or something else?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, as I always been telling to user that the color of stool is depends upon the diet taken and in absence of symptoms or disease it is nothing to worry, in disease condition it can be correlated with that.
Here in your case it is the diet that causes the dark color of stool, else it may not be anything else, try to change the diet.
hope this information helps.
