HI
Well come to HCM
I appreciate your concern, if this is the constipation then it can be managed with fiber diet and plenty off water instead of taking some medicine now for the color of stool it is all due to diet taken, if the color of the stool remains black all along the way then it need to be tested for blood stain stool, again in absence of symptoms it is nothing to worry, once you start drinking more water and start having fiber diet it will be okay hope this information helps.
