Brief Answer:
You should go to the ER as soon as possible...

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You are reporting to pass black stool diarrhea.

First of all, I need to know if you are using iron supplements or any other treatments?

Did you use spinach recently?

If no, then the most important issue that causes black diarrhea is Gastrointestinal bleeding.

So, in my opinion, you should go to the ER to rule out Gastrointestinal bleeding.

Hope it was helpful to you!

Dr. Klerida Shehu, Gastroenterologist
