Poop

Why does poop turn black when you take an antibiotic? Luke's been on an antibiotic for about a week and every time Mark changes his stinky diaper he says, "Kim! Luke's poop's black!" And I say, "Yeah. It's the antibiotic." Then he forgets and changes it again another day and says, "Kim! Luke's poop's black!" And I say, "Yeah. It's the antibiotic." And then...well, you get the idea. So it got me to thinking...why does it turn black? And why does it stink like a dead skunk? Does anybody know?

Well...antibiotics kill bacteria,the good, the bad and the ugly. Which means the flora bacteria in kiddos intestines are also killed which can lead to a change in bowel consistency. (not sure if that would make it change color or not) Crystal just told me that they put, flora bacteria, in the organic yogurt that we eat.
