Black stools ..occult blood positive...well ..the symptom shows that you are bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal system...your doctor prescribe you the PPIs..that good.. It means that there is some type ulcer there. But it is still adviseable to do an endoscopy to examine the responsible monster there.
