Tarry Black Stools?: Please clarify if your stools include a black tarry color, and if is persisting. If so, you should be evaluated asap to insure that is not due to an upper GI bleed. If stool is just a mixture between light and dark brown, then probably not clinically significant. If you take a lot of ibuprofen / naproxen,or drink excessive alcohol, that could increase your risk of an upper GI bleed.
