A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor...: Yes, do see your doctor if your bowel movements have changed significantly in diameter, character, or color - especially if the bms are tarry, bloody, or a dark black. Black or tarry stools may signify bleeding into the bowel. This is all especially important if you have a family history of colon cancer. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
