Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Yes, black cherry juice can make the stool look very dark to black.If you have taken lately this juice and you haven't had any other symptoms like abdominal pain ,stomach pain ,heartburn at all ,then most likely the cause is the juice and you don't need to worry.
In this case the stool should be back to its normal color 1-2 days after you stop taking the juice.
If you have any of the above symptoms,the stool looks black like tar ,and smells very bad , you may need to see your doctor as soon as possible.Otherwise you don't need to worry.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
