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.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a STOOL OCCULT BLOOD Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I 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.

My father experienced severe stomach pain and he also suffers from constipation. Now his pain is almost gone. His blood reports of liver and kidney are normal but the stool occult blood report is positive. What does that mean?
