I got dark blacky brown stool with mucus. what are the reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black stools: Usually this means bleeding from the stomach. (Ulcer). Family med or internist can be very helpful, ASAP. Alternatively you can drink 2 ounces of Aloe vera juice for a few weeks and see if this gets better, but its always safe to seek medical care first.
