Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM
From your history looks like you are having some bleeding episodes in gut. Ulcer could be probable cause. Omeprazole for a period of week or ten days should help you and there should not be any more discoloured stools. If still it persists then you should consult a gastro enterologist
Hope this helps you
Take care

hi.. thanks for using HCM..
you are having acid peptic disease and put on proton pump inhibitors.. now you have dark stools suggest bleeding peptic ulcer.
see your gastroenterologist for the endoscopy and management..
all the very best.
