I would recommend going to see your GP. It's probably nothing to be alarmed by, but I would want the sudden change of bowel habit and the very dark faeces investigated properly: very dark stools can sometimes be a sign of bleeding further up the intestines which, if true, would need to be investigated pretty sharpish.

I think you should be checked for Caeliac disease.

Hi Vicky, I just read your post and I think you need to push your GP for more tests. Especially if the above is a sudden change in bowel habit lasting in excess of six weeks. Hope you get some answers from your GP, or maybe you could push for an urgent referral to a specialist GI consultant.

Dark stools can mean you're bleeding in your intestinal track. You need to see a doctor immediately. Don't delay, even tho you're scared. It's probably nothing, but ignoring bleeding isn't going to get you better.
