If your stools are blackish and tarry (medical name "melena" - look it up in google/yahoo etc) then this can signify GI bleeding which you MUST have investigated.
Don't be reticent when you have your consultation with your doctor. If he/she says "it's probably nothing worse than a stomach bug" ask him/her "how can you be sure it is not caused by melena/intestinal bleeding ?".
Good luck
