Dear Ms, I am afraid that you may be having an emergency. Black stool may indicate a bleeding form your stomach or intestine and there is absolutely no time to waste. Since bleeding has been low, you are passing occasional black stool. Please consult a Gastroenterologist NOW. This shall need an immediate hospital admission. Thank you.
Next Steps
Please consult the doctor NOW.
