Yes : Yes. Stop the dhea but i doubt it is the cause of black stools. You need to see a gastrointestinal specialist because you may have a GI bleed.

Yes: A black stool is not normal and can be a sign of a serious condition. I would think you would like to get that checked out by your doctor. Stopping the dhea for now at least would be a pretty good idea.

Shouldn't. call MD: Dhea should not give black stool. Black stool can be from iron, charcoal, bismuth (pepto), and blood. Can be seen with very dark foods like blueberries. See doc to make sure it is not blood loss.
