I noticed that my daughters been having diahreah. It has been unusually dark almost black. When I changed her diaper this morning, i noticed some flat strips in her stool. it was brownish and after further examining it, it was leatherish. I am not sure what it is or could be and worried it is possible a tape or pin worm of some sort.
