I went to the dr and they gave me a anti acid pill while it hasnt happend in about two months but the last two times i went to the bathroom there as been black dark brown shots the size of a coffee bean in my poop. My stumch hurts often but I disregard it mpst of the time. Im only 22 but i dont knw what I should do or if I should even be conserned. What do you all think?

It could be serious or it could be something not too bad.  The only way to know is to see a doctor and get some testing done.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist about this.  Black stools can indicate bleeding in the upper part of the digestive system.  You should probably have a colonoscopy and endoscopy to investigate this.  Good luck.
