What Causes Black Diarrhea And Flatulence Along With Foul Burps?

I have been trying to loose wieght and eat healthier. Yesterday I ate a ham salad from a fast food resturant; then I ate a late night hamburger before bed. At about 3am I woke up; had one formed stool then a large amount of dark bron/black diahrea with some undigested food x3. In the morning I began to have some formed stool but I then have very foul smelling gas and burpping with the taste of foul smelling meat. Wonder if I had food poisoning since it came on so quickly and the diarhea and gas waws very foul smelling. What do you think?
