Long history of gastric ulcer with black colour stools may rarely point towards even a tumor. Most of the times iron containing drugs do cause black stools. Please get a CBC and tumor marker test done and meet a gastroenterologist as early as possible
Next Steps
To meet a gastroenterologist and get a scopy done
