Did you take any Pepto-Bismol? That will turn stools black.

If you've been taking an antacid like Malox regularly that will cause your poop to go black sometimes. It could also mean that there is blood in the stool so you may want to go to the doctor and have a fecal test to rule that out. Good luck with that.

I assume it is not something you ate. Black means that there is blood in the stool. There is a simple occult test to tell. You can sometimes find them in a pharmacy. If not let your doctor know and he can test you.

I call this "The Grim" and no, there is nothing wrong. Your poo is colored by things that you eat. I don't know exactly what gives one "The Grim" but there is nothing to worry about.
I have also had "The Elvish" which is a very green turd. This is caused by fruit loops I believe. There is also "Mustard Mud" which is yellowish, cause is unknown.

Sounds like alot of iron in your system, but I would have it checked out. Especially after a certain age you should have a colon rectal test done yearly.

it can be serious. it could be digested blood, meaning you might be bleeding somewhre in your digextive tract.
it might be nothing. iron supplements and pepto bismul can change your bowel movement color.
see your doctor.
