Does black poop mean anything?

For the last few days I've been having black poop.

Is having black poop a sign of something serious and should I see a doctor?

Black poop can be due to eating some dark food.

But it also could be due to a bleeding ulcer. If your poop continues to stay black and you haven't ate anything that could cause it then you might want to see a doctor to be sure it's nothing more serious.

Although most times black poop is nothing to worry about.
