The folks who say there is no impacted fecal matter point to pictures of the
pink and squeaky-clean insides of sick people.  And yet we hear these
stories of horrid black gunk all the time.  How about this:  Why couldn't
the horrid black gunk be secreted over a very short period of time as a way
to dump unwanted toxins?  Maybe our intestines can go from sitting there
pink and empty to storing nasty black gunk for quick elimination in a matter
of hours if given the proper incentive.  Maybe?
