What Causes Dark Brown Stools?
My stools aren't completely black, however, sometimes theres a dark brown streak or a dark brown patch on regular brown stools at times. I don't experience any other symptoms (loose stools on occasion but usually after drinking the night before) but my diet isn't that great (lack of vegetables and fruit) and i drink once a week. Just a poor diet or something else

dear dark brown stools may be due to upper GI bleed or iron and bismuth containing medicine.
other possibilities like infection diarrhoea, obstruction etc..
please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
