Hello. Thank you for your message.
If you are having black stools (more than a one-time occurrence) you should see your doctor. Black tarry stools are a worrisome symptom because it may be due to bleeding into the GI tract, most often from the upper GI tract including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Red blood cells are broken down by digestive enzymes in the intestine and turn the stool black.
