I'm glad you're seeing a doctor tomorrow... there's only 2 things I know of that cause black stools: Pepto Bismol and internal bleeding. Hopefully it's nothing that serious, but it's good you're getting checked out!

One more thing: too much iron. I had to supplement with iron as a teenager (killer periods do tend to make one anemic), and I ended up with very dark poop. So if you've increased your iron intake, that might be a very benign explanation.
