Eating pig’s blood and having black stools is generally considered a normal physiological phenomenon, but it can also be caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding such as gastric hemorrhage.
Pig’s blood is a common food, which is solidified by pig’s blood, which contains a large amount of iron. If too much is consumed at one time, the iron in pig’s blood is not fully absorbed, and under the acidic condition of gastric juice, ferrous sulphide will be formed, which is black in color, and when it is discharged along with the stools, the stools will appear black in color.
This is usually a normal phenomenon, patients usually do not have obvious discomfort, after stopping eating pig’s blood, the color of stool will gradually return to normal.
But if the patient stop eating pig’s blood, the stool is still black, and itself suffers from chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, esophagitis and other upper gastrointestinal tract diseases, need to be vigilant about the possibility of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is usually accompanied by abdominal pain and bloating, regurgitation of acid belching (burp), loss of appetite and other discomforts.
