One does not usually ingest radioactive isotopes, however if one did I expect the initial effect (if you were not poisoned by the elements concerned) would be to for the radiation (alpha or beta) damage the tissues in contact with the isotopes. This would cause them to bleed and the blood would indeed cause the stool to be dark. However, that would be just the start of your problems.
