No,it sounds perfectly normal. The colour depends on what you are eating. sue

problem is they were hard to distinguish if they were black or brown. they looked blackish brown in the pan but dark brown on the paper. i must say it is causing me some concern at the moment.

Trust me ,if its brown on the paper its brown. Sometimes too much Iron in the diet causes this and certain foods... Sue

Mine go from yellow coloured to dark brown at times too.

I have had orange onestoo much tomato soup! Then of course there are the ones with linseed in it.
I wouldn't worry too much - what you described sounds normal. But if you're worried about irregularities check out symptoms for IBS and perhaps have a word with your doctor. Maybe you just need more fluid?
