I would call the doctor. My GI has informed me over and over again that black stools are not normal. Something may be going on. I would rather be safe than sorry. Take care, and don't worry about being a whiner.....
Hugs, Dolores

if you have eten something that you dont usually eat, this could cause them, but its unlikely, but if you eat what you normally would, see a doctor.

When i take iron supplements i get black stools. If that's not the case for you, please call the dr. You're not being a whiner ok? It's your health and your life and you're allowed to ask for info and advice at the very least from your doc. Take care of yourself. x
