Hello,
Image result for What causes dark stool when diagnosed with celiac disease. Blood can mix with digestive fluids and make your stool tarry and sticky. Eating gluten can result in sticky stool and other symptoms for people with celiac disease. Sometimes lactose intolerance can also cause sticky stool. People with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme lactase.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
