You really need to contact your physician who may have ordered the endoscopy or call this physician back who did it and report this. No foods that I know of cause black stools. It's a possibility that the medicine you drank for the test may cause it as it's leaving your body, but that is also unllikely.
If you don't get satisfactory answers from either doctor, seek a second opinion. Most insurance plans pay for them.

Get back to your Gastro. I had a bleeding ulcer and needed surgery. Don't ignore it. You'll end up in the ER.

Black stools indicate bleeding so you need to see your doc ASAP. Call and ask for an emergency appointment and get checked out.
