You are probably dehydrated. Dink 8-10 glasses of water every day for the next two days, and if it doesn't clear up, get to the doctor quickly. If you have any other symptoms like pain, fever or yellowing of your skin or eyes, go NOW.I mean right now.

Is faeces black?

Black/green stool would indicate blood somewhere in the GI tract. It usually would have "coffee grinds" look to it. See a doctor, you probably have an intestinal ulcer or severe irritation. It will probably be taken care of with some prescription meds.Different foods will turn your stool different colors. If you eat a lot of asparagas it will turn your stool green. A lot of black licorice can turn your stool purple to black. If it is always black you might want to ask a doctor.
