What Causes Black Stool?
My friend started complaining a couple of weeks ago about his stool being black and tarry looking. Well today he said it looked and smelled burnt. His abdomin is a lilttle bloated and he said he feels nauseated. I think he needs to be checked out he s hard headed though. So i was wondering what you might think is wrong him. Thank you so much for your time
