Hello,

If the symptom of black stool is without abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea, then it may not be due to any illness but it could be due to some diet.

But if it is the very small oozing of bleeding from the GI tract, then it may not cause any symptoms of pain fatigue but of course could cause drop of hemoglobin. So, it can be ruled out and for that watch the level of hemoglobin, and sent the stool for testing.

Meanwhile, try to change the diet, and again drug could be the cause of black stool.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
