I have noticed that I am giving up black, dark stools. Is it something dangerous? ~ Lester
Black stools may be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. Under the influence of bacterial decomposition of blood, the stool is black. Endoscopic examination is necessary to check for the site of bleeding. The black color of the stool can also be caused by the consumption of certain medications, e.g. coal or iron, as well as the consumption of blueberries.
