You r taking iron: Pills and its not uncommon to have dark colored stools. Iron can also make you constipated. You need to add fiber supp such as metamucil (2 tblespoons) to your daily diet and drink a lot of fluids (6-8 glasses) spec in this warm weather. Nausea is very non specific and could be secondary to a lot of things. Follow up with your fam doc to check lab work and further testing. You may need a GI workup.
