May have Crohns?: U'r dark GI bleed is then likely coming from u'r small intestine. There is such a procedure as a capsule Endoscopy, but an EGD alone only go's to the duodenum. small intestine very difficult to look into. With the recurrent fevers inflammatory bowel disease is possible, but other autoimmune disorders should also be considered like lupus. May want to see a Internal Medicine doc or rheumatologist.
