Change in faeces colour to a very dark brown / almost black

**Sorry if this is in the wrong category I have no idea where to put it **

A few days ago my faeces changes from normal brown colour to a very dark brown nearly black colour. Also, a clammy fluidy mucus surrounds the stools.

My diet hasn't really changed, I had a few portions of almonds and that's the only difference really. 

Small, mild stomach aches and I never feel like I've completely emptied my bowels  for stools but other end is fine. 

Haven't gone to the Dr, don't know if I should. Not sure whether or not to look it up on the internet but n most cases, people look stuff up on the internet and idk  they come up with possible problems that hardly related to their symptoms.

Also I will add that I am quite tired all the time but most days I will not be able to sleep until 5am. I thought that tiredness and not bing ale to sleep until late, could also be associated with my memory loss, headaches and mverging on depressive state.

Hi Danny

I really hope that you will go to your physician to have some medical test done.. It really could be a number of different things..

Have you been diagnosed with having a diverticular in bowels? I would also urge go to you gp. They may test thyroid. Some antidepressants can cause stool changes worth discussing

Do you have heartburn burping,because it sounds like hpylori its has same symptoms
