Hey i just passed out really dark stool in the morning and i just went to the loo again the stool was brown but darker shade my stool is usually light?

See DR: Many possible causes of different stool color. "Really dark" is too vague. Bleeding from stomach or duodenum may produce stool as black as tar with a peculiar odor. A health pro can easily check your stool for blood. Most common reason for different stool colors is different foods.

Is it normal for one stool to be two shades of brown? (looks like milk and dark chocolate was mixed). Have been increasing fiber and probiotic intake recently.
