Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Black stool comes from blood in the upper intestine. It may be a stomach or duodenal ulcer that is causing the bleeding, and it also causes the lack of appetite.
I would recommend you to see a gastroenterologist and assess this problem fully.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Manoku Eni
