Doctor please check my report I have attached below. Occult blood shows trace. What does trace mean. What could be the reason for it. Is it something serious or something to worry about? Please help doctor.

Trace means very small amount; could be from minor causes like hemorrhoids, but needs evaluation if persistent. Not always serious.

View allI was using whey protein, which did not suit me and caused loose stools and two bowel movements per day. I continued using it, thinking my body would adjust, and took it for one month with milk, water, and curd. As a result, I started getting black loose stools. A stool test showed +fiber, +undigested food, and negative for mucus, blood, and infection. I stopped the whey protein and switched back to a normal diet, but the condition did not improve. It has been almost seven months, and now I am getting yellow loose stools. Sometimes the stool is normal, but other times it starts hard and ends loose. Doctors have told me that I have weak intestines. I have also lost weight; previously I weighed 63 kg, and now I weigh 58 kg.
