Dear-some medications for diarrhea can cause changes of the color of the stool, been darker than normal .However , it is very important to make sure that is not occult blood in the stool, which is a sign of old blood in the intestine and needs to find the area of bleeding. If you have been experimenting stomach pain,it is important to get an endoscopy to make sure that you are not suffering from gastritis,gastric or duodenal ulcers. Sometimes, this areas are irritated and bleed, giving dark stools (if has been bleeding for few days or weeks) and red blood stools if acute bleeding.
