What Causes Black Coloured Stools With Loss Of Weight?
I have been having very dark brown to black stools, that tend to be on the soft side, sometimes looking like decomposing leaves, as in large dark flakes. I do not have hemroids, I have suffered from ulcers off and on for the last 30 odd years, but never anything like this. I have been drooping a lot of weight without trying for the past 6 months, around the time the fence changes started

Thanks for posting this question on HCM.
Apparently there is a bleeding in your intestines may be from an ulcerative lesions. In view of weight loss and history of multiple ulcers since 30 yrs or so you are advised to consult a surgeon for endoscopic (colonoscopic) examination and other relevant investigstions to rule out suspected malignancy.
Wishing you best of health.
