A member asked:
Any reason for tarry stools aside from bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood til proven not: Black (not dark, but black) stools can be seen with bleeding, iron supplements, bismuth (pepto), charcoal pills, arsenic (not used as medicine anymore-used to treat syphilis). Foods like blueberries can be confusing, as can excess intake of oreos (anecdotal experience).
