Does anyone know if an excess of grape juice can cause your stools to turn black. I drank two containers of grape juice on Thurs. and Fri. and on Sat and again this morning my stools were black. I had a colonoscopy exactly 1 year ago today so I don't beleive anything is wrong was just wondering if it could be attributed to the grape juice.

I don't think that would cause it, but the only way to find out is to wait a few days. If your stools are still black you should see your doctor. Black stools can be caused by bleeding in the upper digestive tract. It doesn't have to be a very bad thing, so don't freak out!

Good luck and get better soon.

It might be possible. I know that Pepto Bismol can cause your tongue and stools to turn black and it's only temporary.

Pretty much anything with bismuth can make your stools look black. Never heard of the tongue turning black though.
