I guess your talking about a black stool, not that the lights were out, right?
Black stools are either:
1) You ate something like licorice or pepto?
2) Not food related, so consult your physician. It's possible you have a case of Melena.
I'm not a doctor so just take what I've written here as advice. Ruchele knows much more about these things than I do.

The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth. When a small amount of bismuth combines with trace amounts of sulfur in your saliva and gastrointestinal tract, a black-colored substance (bismuth sulfide) is formed. This discoloration is temporary and harmless. It can last several days after you stop taking Pepto-Bismol. Individual bowel habits, your age (the intestinal tract slows down with age), and the amount of the product taken all help to determine how long Pepto-Bismol is in your system.
