Sunday I saw some red blood with my stool and then today I had some black stool come out. Should I be concerned or just wait a few days before talking to my GI doc about it? I also notice a lot of undigested food in my stool before starting to take MOM the last 3 nights. Any ideas?
This could be a sign of an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's or colitis. I would definitely recommend you contact your doctor as soon as possible.

It's usually a sign of internal bleeding. The exception is if you've taken certain medications (I think Pepto-Bismol will actually do it) that cause discoloration of the stool. I would call your doctor *immediately*.
