Black stool is concerning since this could be due to blood in your stools. The green stool is most likely due to something you are eating. You may want to have your doctor test your stool for microscopic blood to be certain you are not having blood in your stools, especially when the stools are black. If it is blood, you should see a GI doctor. Good luck to you!
