Hello,
Increased coffee can be associated with gastritis and stress ulcers of the stomach. cut back on the coffee. Take an anti acid such as a proton pump inhibitor (protonix/omeprazole) or histamine blocker (pepcid). If dark tarry stool persists after 5-7 d, seek medical attention to possibly set up for colonoscopy.
