If your stool is a very dark brown, that is normal. Black stool which is truly black and sticky suggests bleeding in the digestive tract. Iron supplements can make the stool black like coal and is innocuous. What you describe is likely normal.
Please visit a specialist physician if your symptoms persist.

Brown or dark brown stools are normal. Pure black stools might indicate bleeding. Gallstones do not change the color of your stools.
