What Causes Black Stool?
I noticed my ( poop ) was dark , half liquid form almost black / green in colour. That was the 2nd time I went to the bathroom today , the first one was a normal healthy looking dump . I am just wondering what could have caused the second one to be so nasty?

Hello,
The black stool came to be caused by bleeding in the upper portion of your digestive system.
I suggest an endoscopy and a visit to a gastrologist for further examination and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
