Hi David;

I'm wondering if that material was the lining itself that sloughed off
(which is a normal process as I understand?) and then, because of the lack
of food and therefore minimal/no peristalsis, remained in your system and
died , turning black and then hardening over time. Once it got sufficiently
hard, peristaltic action then resumed discharging it from the body?
