Did black chocolate makes black stool please. answer me?

Chocolate is not: Known for causing black stool. Notice that you suffer from cramping, abdominal pain ; weakness. If you have black, tarry, malodorous stool it could be due to GI bleeding. Please seek medical care if this is the case. Take care.

Possible.: Very dark foods can make the stool dark. Blood can also make your stool dark, but it is usually stick and foul smelling as well.
