IBD Colitis partly black stool

Iv been diagnosed with Colitis in December. I'm currently being treated for a flare up with entocort and salofalk enema, I'm starting to notice some of my stool is black, not all of it, but some bits are stuck to my stool. Almost like a burnt black and I am concerned

Black bits stuck in the stool may be undigested foods particles, streaks of blood, or gastric cells that are being shed.
Next Steps
Get an occult blood test done. Talk to your doctor about an endoscopy if the symptoms persist
Health Tips
.A BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) may help till the symptoms reduce.
