What to do if i have black loose stool, what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood loss from gut: Black stool can be a result of many things, bleeding in your intestine, taking iron supplements, eating certain foods, or taking vitamins. Because it might represent an acute bleed in the stomach or intestines, seeking medical attention as soon as possible is important. Call your physician and make an appointment to be seen ASAP
