A member asked:

22 yr old...black formed stool twice at a gap of 20 days..other days its of normal color..shud i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Not unless i continues. Some vitamins and iron can turn stool black as can pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) (or any product with bismuth in it). If it continues then see your doc and he/she can test for blood.
