Gallstones could come out in your stool. As far as knowing if one did I think the only way would be a loss of pain in the right flank area? I imagine you may see one in the stool? not real sure. Kidney stones would not be able to come out in a stool IMO. Kidney stones come out through the urinary tract. From what I hear, if you pass a large Kidney stone you will know it but small ones can pass unknown.

Hi,
A gallstone could pass out thru your stool, only if it small enough to pass thru your common bile duct. Gallstones can be black to a rust color.
