Hi Nat I hope you have calmed down a bit now. We all get black stools once in a while and there are many other reasons other than blood. It could be something you ate or drank and this is much more likely. If it continues then I would have a word with your doctor to put your mind at rest. x

You should alright. Did eat something that would turn your stool a different color. Black jelly beans and certain cereals will change the color.🤔
