Loose sticky stools is a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome. But it is also a symptom of colon cancer. So it is very important that u rule out colon malignancy. In colon cancer there is bleeding from the bowel. When the blood is exposed to digestive juices it becomes tarry and black. This sis one of the important and dangerous causes of sticky stools.
Get a good check up by a gastroenterologist.
Thanks and regards
