It is possible for your motions to become darkened if you are taking certain medicines - iron tablets can have this effect. However, as suggested above I would advise you to seek medical advice. If the cause is due to internal
intestinal
Amebic liver abscess
Barium enema
Colorectal polyps
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Gastrointestinal disorders - resources
Gastrointestinal perforation
Intestinal leiomyoma
Intestinal obstruction
Intestinal obstruction repair
Irritable bowel syndrome
Upper gastrointestinal system
bleeding then the medical name for this effect is melena and you may wish to google this word in order to find out more for your medical consultation.
