Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

If she is on blood thinner drugs then it could be possible she might bleed inside stomach because of gastric ulcer

In this case,the blood inside stomach get digested and become black tarry coloured which will be evacuated in bowel movement.

So,one need to watch carefully her stool and its colours.If it is seen during BM then your mother should need immediate medical attention specially to gastroenterologist.

The doctor would examine her and can order relevant investigation and then go for further treatment to block this bleeding inside stomach.

Regards,
