Hai,
1. Are you on Iron supplements? iron supplements can cause gastric intolerance along with black colored stools and diarrhea
2. If the problem is worrisome, changing over to iron syrup or iron injections are the best alternatives
3. Anti-helmintic medication orally for a day will cure if you have worm infestation
4. consuming water and maintaining hydration is all that is needed.
