Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Thank you for posting query at HCM.

you need further evaluation as soon as possible. Most likely you have a lesion in stomach which is causing bloating and pain.
Black stool reflects bleeding from upper gastrointestinal tract.

You need to Undergo ENDOSCOPY to rule out any blessding lesion in the GIT.
Make an appointment with a gastroenterologist asap.

meanwhile,

- avoid salt and spices
- avoid alcohol and smoking
- take nexium 40mg before a breakfast (once daily)
- simethicone tablets are used to combat bloating but you better rule out any lesion via endoscopy first

hope to answer your concern.
