Brief Answer: Bleeding needs to be ruled out. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. If it is a black like a tar stool, most probable reason of it is bleeding from peptic ulcer in the stomach or duodenum. Other source of bleeding like small intestine malformation (enlarged vessel in the intestine wall) is also possible. If the bleeding is massive, stool gets loose. You should also have weakness, pale skin, shivers, sweating. Nausea and vomiting can appear. Black stool can be also caused by iron supplements intake. If your stool is black, but not like a tar, your symptoms may be caused by some infection. If the bleeding sounds possible please do not wait any longer. Gastroscopy is strongly advisable. If your heart rate is higher than 100, please visit ER. If bleeding symptoms does not fit to yours, stool test and stool culture test should be done. Antibiotics (Rifaximine or Ciprofloxacine with Metronidazole) should be prescribed. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
