I had loose motion and black stool since last 2 weeks. Now after taking Norflox TZ loose motion is stopped, but black stool is still going on. No acidity problem detected till now, but I eat lot of green chilli in food. Before this problem I had bloated stomach also for 1-2 days, but it auto corrected. Please suggest.

Hi dear, black stool means you are passing blood in stool ( blood when congress in contact with gastric acid beckoned black) we call this as malena. You need a proper evaluation. Kindly grey your self checked- stool routine and a upset GI scopy.
