really Appreciate your efforts to explain the problem.
I would like to know detailed history. Can you associate those two incidences with some food or drink?.
From whatever history and diagram you have provided it is unlikely that it is the case blood in the stool but possibility can't be denied .mild erosions in upper GI track can cause this
also some foods and congeners in alcoholic beverages'iron supplements can impart this color to the stool.
