Hello,
It could be bleeding from GI ( gastrointestinal tract). Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. We have to do all bleeding parameters and endoscopy for further evaluation. If his hemoglobin is low, blood transfusions has to be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
