A member asked:

I am so confused about how bloody tarry stool looks like...compared to black stool. aren't they the same thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be cautious: If you have black stools and are not sure if these are tarry black, treat it as if it were black tarry stool and get a sample tested for blood.
