I have been suffering from gastric problems for the past four weeks and recently I have started noticing black stools. I am attaching my report here and would like to know what the issue might be.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Black stools may suggest bleeding in the stomach, possibly due to acidity or ulcers. If reports show anemia or infection, please see a gastroenterologist. To understand the cause of black stools and rule out any serious concerns, please do a stool test for occult blood and check your hemoglobin levels.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a STOOL OCCULT BLOOD Test or Take a HB (Haemoglobin) Test Test

For the past three days, my diarrhea has not stopped. I am having almost 7 to 10 bowel movements a day, along with vomiting twice and a nauseous feeling. I also have high fever and fatigue. My family doctor prescribed antibiotics and other medicines, saying it could be due to food poisoning, but there is little relief. Should I go for a blood test to determine if it is something else?

My son is passing stools three times a day, two times normally and once in very small quantity. The doctor suggested a stool test. The results of stool tests are attached. After the first test, Walamycin was prescribed for 5 days. I gave it for 3 days and stopped because his stools became normal. However, in the retest, I see pus cells again in his stool. Please suggest what should be done next.
