Black stool?

Why am I having black tarry stools? I can’t see any blood and I’m not in any pain.

Are you taking Pepto bismol? Are you using Iron supplements? If not, then it may be gastrointestinal bleeding. Have you seen your physician yet?
Black tarry stools are a sign of bleeding, usually from the stomach. You should get evaluated by a GI doctor.
