My husband has black stools 4th day. no signs of pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. what can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If stools are: black, tarry and malodorous - this could be due to bleeding in the GI tract. It can also be due to eating certain foods or some medications. If there is any chance this is melena (blood) then he needs prompt medical eval.
