I had this once and was rushed to hospital.

Black stools can mean there is a more serious problem going on. This could mean that you have a bleed in your stomach.

Generally, the stools have a sicky sweet smell because of the old blood in them.

Please get checked out by a doctor straight away, even if this is only to put your mind at rest.

Well, if me being rushed to hospital with a stomach bleed after having black stools and nearly dying not that serious, I would dread to know what you class as serious??

It really may not be serious in this case but then again we are not professionals in this matter.

Please get checked out if only to put your own mind at rest.
