Hello,
Upper GI bleeding or iron or bismuth tablet consumption or green leafy vegetable intake may lead to black stools. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Get it done stool examination and upper GI endoscopy then consult your gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
