Hi sir, I had a gastroscopy done a month ago due to constipation with blood and black flecks in my stools. I have attached my report. If there was bleeding in the upper GI tract, it would have been highlighted in the report, right?

If upper GI bleeding was present, it is usually noted in gastroscopy. Black flecks could be old blood or food residue. A stool occult blood test may help.

Take a STOOL OCCULT BLOOD Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

My 4 month old baby has been experiencing constant vomiting for the past month. We recently got a blood test done, and the CRP level came back as 18 mcg per ml. I am concerned about what this means and what could be causing the vomiting.

My occult blood report is not detected, but there is blood in my stool in physical examination. Is it a cause of concern?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had vomiting and loose motion so my doctor said I have a stomach infection and advised me to get blood and urine reports. I am also having regular back pain and my mouth has a sour taste. I have attached my reports.
