A member asked:

Dark brown, but not black stool. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What you ate?: Color of stools varies widely, and reflects mostly what you've eaten as well as some medications. Generally not a reliable sign of anything, but any color can contain hidden blood, so if you're worried, your physician can do a simple hemoccult for hidden blood in the office.
