What Causes Abdominal Discomfort And Dark Stools?

I have abdominal discomfort and my stools are dark. A stool test taken 10 days ago revealed pus and yeast in the stool. I have taken a course of antibiotics since. My stool is firmer now but I still have the abdominal discomfort, movement/gargling in my intestines and dark stool. Should I be concerned?
