? blood: I'm sure you are worried that this could represent intestinal bleeding. Black stools could be due to gastrointestinal bleeding but the stools are often sticky and foul-smelling if the color is due to blood. If you have been bleeding for at least a month I would expect you would have other symptoms as well such as weakness or dizziness. It's best to get it checked out though.
