With such presentations in my clinic, I would first go for differentiate cause whether from upper GI tract OR Lower GI Tract.
After differentiation plan of treatment decide.
In your case I Think colonyscopy not required in this stage. Because complain is of Black stool with bowel movement (Which is usually occures in Upper GI tract Ulcerations). In ur case it is most suspected due to upper GI tract ulcer. This requires upper Endoscopy which rule out Ulcers In Upper region.
If there is fresh Blood then colonoscopy required in this stage.
Iwould suggest you following precautions besdie your Dr. Advice:
1-Restrict your diet to nonspicy.
2-Dring a cup of Chilled Milk 4-5 time in day .
3-Eat Frequent and less meals (This will help stomach not to be empty for long time which causes Gastritis. )
4-And be STRESS free becuase this also matters a alot.

In the last Wait for a wk if not get releived then plz look for Gasto enterologist.

Hope this help you little Bit.
