hello!
Okey, so we are talking about renal stones here but the cause of diarrhoea is not clear. if you would have been prescribed antibiotics, then this diarrhoea could be explained. the given description is not sufficient to understand the cause of diarrohea. very dark or black colred stool is not normal and you should get a stool examination done.
Thanks
