It will be a good idea to see a gastroenterologist since symptom of black stool may indicate bleeding in your upper gut, like stomach and duodenum.
Blood passing through the bowels irritates the gut leading to diarrhea, and the red color is reduced by gut bacteria and enzymes into black.
Another possibility is a gut infection.
