Medical Conditions - Black Stools

Black stools are mostly due to consuming dark-colored food. But sometimes, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract due to ulcers, cancer, or injury, can result in black stools. The other cause includes bowel ischemia, varices, and vascular malformation. Hemorrhoids or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) can also result in black or bloody stools.
