A member asked:
I have celiac and ulcerative colitis now i had 3 episodes of tarry stools within 3 weeks also loss of appetite not wanting to eat, what could it be?

See details: This is likely an upper GI bleed if your stools are truly black and just not dark brown. If so, this is an urgent problem. See your gastroenterologist ASAP or go to the ER.
