Antibiotics and other medication can make the stool darkened.
Also, Iron tablets can cause dark stool.
If you are concerned, go to the doctor. He can run a simple test to see if there is blood in the stool.

If it hasn't stopped in a few days make a doctors appointment. Black tarry is an indication of some serious problems. Give it a few day's and then keep your eye on your bowel movements. Good luck!

Check with your doctor: Black stools could also mean a bleeding gastric ulcer.

It's probably from something you ate in the last couple days. Did you eat anyting red or blue? That will make it black or green.
