Bleeding in the upper portion of your digestive system can cause black, tarry stools. Ulcers or another form of irritation in your esophagus or stomach known as gastritis can cause bleeding. When the blood mixes with digestive fluids, it takes on the appearance of tar. Certain medications can also lead to black-colored stools. Iron supplements and bismuth-based medications, for example, can darken your stools. Sometimes, serious blood and circulation abnormalities in your digestive system can cause black, tarry stools a stool test may required to know the severity of your problem.
