Brief Answer:
Peptic ulcer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Abdominal pain (especially upper middle) after eating along with black stools are characteristic for peptic ulcer which is bleeding. Nausea and weakness can be also present.
Peptic ulcer is more possible if you do take lots of pain killers or drink a lot of coffee.
With such symptoms it is very important to rule out stomach cancer.
That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible and have gastroscopy done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
