HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
With a history of duodenal ulcers and dark stool , then it would be best to see your doctor for an assessment.
There are different causes for dark stool including iron supplements but it can also be caused by blood in the stool though usually a large amount.
Your doctor may suggest stool analysis and would be able to initiate appropriate treatment.
I hope this helps
