Hi..the black pieces could be undigested foods, partially broken down but with no time to become part of a formed stool.

Colour changes could have something to do with what "bug" you picked up, what you ate/drank, floral changes in the digestive tract..etc.

The pink could be from what you drank or it could be from bleeding....If that continues, don't wait...go see a doctor and have him do stool samples to check to see what it is you have and give you appropriate meds if you need them.

I would suggest you start a probiotic...there are many different kinds to choose from...the first one I ever tried was from Jamieson..but I now use Protec from Natural Factors. It will help get the gut flora more balanced and hopefully outnumber the ones that have taken over ... that gave you the diarrhea.

Are you the only one in your family/area/workplace that's had this?

Let us know how you're doing.
