Optifast and black stools

Hi there, 

Anyone on optifast or who has been on optifast have black stools or is it just me?

Thanks for your help! 

Depending on what you are putting into the opti it should not create black stools. I would contact your centre about this

Last night I had the chocolate shake and put in cherry kool-aid. But after I drank it I noticed that the kool-aid was expired by two weeks. 

I don't know if this makes adifference .

Thanks for your help! 

I did not have this issue. I would contact the clinic as well. Cathy

Ok thanks ladies I'm contact my Centre then. 

Thanks

I had black diarrhea for two days starting on day 4 then it went away.  You could call them and see what they say just to be sure.

Yes today is day 3 for me. It was also a little loose.

Thanks for your help. 

I did Opti over 10 years ago and back then they told us to put the unflavoured metamucil in each shake to help with it but nowadays they make the SF unflavoured metamucil capsules and people are told to take those with the shakes.  It was really fast to clear the diarrhea up and it will also help if you get constipated as long as you drink enough water with them too.

I had only chocolate Opti and my stool was very dark the entire 3 weeks I was on it. It wasn't black but very very dark.

Oh maybe that's could be it too.  I'm now having the vanilla shake with peppermint tea (this tastes really good). I'll wait to see how it goes. I'll wait to see how my other bm goes. 

Thanks fir your help!
