Hey - not normal to have black stools that far out unless you are eating something pink - peto bismal or Iron.

thanks I am planning on calling today. I hate doing stuff if it is nothing. I keep saying after one more bowel movement to make sure.

Could be nothing but it's not something to ignore. Call your doctor. If nothing else, you'll have peace of mind when your doctor confirms it's nothing to worry about!
