You should: have a test to determine if you are bleeding! A simple stool test is ll that's necessary. DO IT SOON ..Black stools are not normal unless you are taking IRON! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

What can be the reason of dark brown, dark red mucus in stool? Can it be due to unhealed anal fissure? But I don't feel anal fissure pain now, just a little burning after bowel. I don't have any pain in abdomen + calprotectin+crp tests are OK?
