Welcome to HealthCare Magic

Hope you are doing good. Well its free up-till now. There are 2 causes of bleeding in stool upper GI bleed and lower GI Bleed. In Upper Gi bleed you will get black colored stool with clotted blood sometimes. With lower Gi bleed you will see fresh blood.

From the symptoms you mentioned it seems like you have upper Gi Bleed most commonly it could be bleed from stomach.

You should change your diet . avoid smoking , drinking , using spicy foods , reduce your tension and anxiety.

You should start
PPI ( Proton pump inhibitor ) like trade name Risek , sante before breakfast and dinner
Syrup Gaviscon 2 table spoon after eating.
tablet Metronidazole 3 times day

You should visit your local physician for your detail examination and investigate you. Black colored stool could be a problem you need to be investigated for it.

I hope have answered your query. feel free to ask if you have any problem. wish you good health. Regards
