Black stools after ercp

2022-12-13 06:06:43
Had ercp 3 days back and getting black stools since then 2..3 times a day. Haemoglobin dropped from 15.6 to 13.1 but endoscopy after ercp revealed no internal bleeding. Also on Iv fluids. Doctors cant say anything conclusively and are saying it may be green not black.What can we do to be sure?

If possible, please send the stool photo. If the patient's vitals are stable, then I think you need not worry.
