Black stools or black poop can indicate that you may have digestive issues.

If you consistently experience black poop or black stools it could be an indication that you have a health issue with your upper digestive tract.

So if you consistently have or experience black poop or black stools see your doctor about it because it could indicate a health issue that can sometimes be fixed.

Sometimes black poop or black stools can be caused by some foods you eat as well and may not indicate a problem at all.

If you eat some foods that are black that can lead to black poop or black stools which is normal and nothing to worry about.

Taking Iron Supplements can also sometimes lead to people experiencing black stools or black feces which is also normal.

But if the black stools or black poop just suddenly started happening and it doesn't go away within a few days to a week then see your doctor.
