I'm not a Dr., but a nurse if that helps. Do your multi-vitamins contain iron? Iron will make your stools black...but if you've been taking them for a while, this just wouldn't of started.
To answer your question...no, it's not "normal" to have black shits. If it's a true black, tarry color, then that is a sign of "old blood".
Make an appt with your Dr., there is a quick and simple test they can do to determine if there is occult blood in your stool.
Good Luck.
