A member asked:

I have black stool with no pain eating some protein shakes and gummy vitamins haven't had any symptoms of any type??

See below: Please call your doctor for appointment.. It could be nothing more than your diet and vitamins your taking but don't take a chance. Black tarry stools need to be evaluated by your physician as soon as possible.
