Yay! I am glad you talked to your pediatrician. And so glad that her
difficulties appear to have passed. Yes, some foods and drugs can
produce black stools, but your little girl probably isn't getting any
of those. She may have had an upper GI bleed, now resolved. Or there
was no bleed. But if you see that nasty black again, please follow up
with your ped!

For Monkey Boy (3yo), constipation is linked to insufficient fluid
intake. A high fiber diet can make constipation worse, if fluid
intake is not sufficient.
