If you were admitted in a hospital with diagnosis of dengue fever or probably presuming that you might have it, this will be the diet that will be prescribed to you. The same for any disease that may give your doctors reason to trace if there is any bleeding that will pass through your stools.

Therefore, it will not be good to alarm them with "possible" bleeding just because your stool suddenly turned black, or have traces of red or black eliminates thus you will be asked to avoid dark colored foods. This includes red meat (beef, pork, lamb, goat, and the likes including organ meats), dark leafy or non-leafy vegetables (swamp cabbage/kangkong, okra and the likes), red bell pepper or chili pepper or any that leaves the body in such dark or red colors.

Suffice it to say, food high in iron should also be temporarily omitted for iron makes the stool dark. Seasonings like catsup or soy sauce actually can be taken since they do not leave the body as such, nor do they affect darkening of stool BUT this tend to confuse the patients therefore wiser to altogether avoid in the food preparation anyhow, this is just a temporary diet that the attending physician should and will change the moment they are assured of the patients condition.
