Probably is: Stool color change based on your diet and intestinal transit time and absorption. Dark brown and green stools do happen and does happen once in a while. However, if it is truly tarry and black, get it checked for blood since it will suggest bleeding above the stomach (ulcer?). Taking things like a lot of blueberries, iron and pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can make your stools black as well.

Brown spot on my tooth appeared suddenly at gum line. Dentist said it's an exposed nerve and asked if it hurt. I said no, then he scraped it with a tool and that hurt, so he desensitized it. Now it hurts when I eat sweets. Why? It never hurt before?
