What does black diarrhea mean at age 70?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several posibilities: Truly black stools must be tested to be sure that they do not contain blood. If they do you need to be seen asap by a gastroenterologist and fully evaluated for the cause of the bleeding and correction. This will probably result in your undergoing endoscopy from both ends.
