Is it an emergency? Black poop since yesterday, but no abdominal pain. Please help??

It was my sister's birthday,and I ate some spicy food,with a lot of chilli powder and pepper. But my stomach felt perfectly fine. And day before yesterday, I had chicken for lunch,which was again spicy,but no pain in my stomach either.

Then yesterday I felt like I had gastric in my stomach,and my poop came out black. Total black,except for the last stool,which was dark yellow. I thought maybe today it would be normal again,but it came out black even today morning.

Now I'm really scared. When I search the net it says upper GI tract bleeding,but I feel no pain. I am supposed to feel pain,am I not ?? I am on a regular dose of synthetic thyroid tablets, which contain sodium.

Please help.

did you just start taking the thyroid tablet? You may have an ulcer. Though no pain at all is odd. Have you taken any iron pills? Or eating foods very high in iron? If the poop stay black for more than 3-4 days you should see a doctor.
