Hello,
To have brown color or dark stool isnot normal but as you mention very small part so it is difficult to judge. But keep noticing every day because it might be due to bleeding inside your upper GI tract.
Next Steps
Keep noticing every day and if persistent dark brown stool then requires upper GI endoscopy and SOS colonoscopy
Health Tips
Avoid hot/spicy/oily food
