Hi,

Sudden weight gain and dark stools could indicate several medical conditions. Dark or black stools can be caused by bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as ulcers or gastritis. Dark brown stools may indicate bleeding in the lower intestinal tract. The weight gain may be related to fluid retention or other underlying medical conditions.

It is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment. A doctor may recommend additional tests such as stool tests, blood tests, and imaging studies to diagnose the underlying condition.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
