My stool has a black colour what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach bleeding: Black stools are concerning for bleeding from the stomach or duodenum. If your heart rate is less than 100 and you don’t feel faint, make an appointment to see your doctor ASAP. IF your heart rate is greater than 100, you feel faint, or are pale appearing, go to the ER now as you could be losing too much blood rapidly. FYI, iron supplements and bile can also cause dark stools; get evaluated.
