Brief Answer:
need to consider a scope or look instead esophagus, stomach
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Black bowel movements mean either that there is blood loss either from the esophagus or stomach or upper small intestine (eg duodenum) or the use of some iron supplements or peptobismol.
If you not using either iron supplements or peptobismol then unfortunately the discoloration is likely due to blood.
A scope of the esophagus or stomach or upper intestines would be needed to find the source of bleeding.
This can be combined with an ultrasound but definitely taking a direct look in the esophagus and stomach is needed
If you have a history of severe reflux or gastritis, it is possible that there is a slight irritation or ulceration of the lining of the esophagus and stomach.
You may want to check for the bacteria H pylori which can cause significant issues worsening of reflux in some persons.
A blood test can identify, treated with a course of 2 antibiotics and reflux medication.
There are anti diarrhea meds such as loperamide that can help reduce stool frequency.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
