Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* When endoscopy is normal - gastric , duodenal ulcers are ruled out .
* Mere only hiatus hernia will not give black stool .
* Other causes can be
- side effect of some drugs as pain killer or else - bleeding from intestine
beyond duodenal part ( which can not be assessed in endoscopy )
- other disorders of platelets or else .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further doubts .
Regards .
