A member asked:

My partner has bad tummy pain, he is having black stools, we went to the doctor today and it seemed like he was interested in fresh blood please help?

Black Stools: Black stools are concerning for a bleed in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Bright red bloody stools are concerning for bleeds in the lower gastrointestinal tract or massive upper gastrointestinal tract bleeds.
