hello dear,
i think you are having a upper gastrointestinal bleed may be due to gastric or peptic ulcer which can be diagnosed by upper GI endoscopy. the black stool you are told is called melena which is Passage of dark-colored, tarry stools, due to the presence of blood altered by the intestinal juices of upper gastrointestinal tract including stomach and duodenum area, this area is seen on upper GI endoscopy. check your haemoglobin regularly and take proper treatment to increase your haemoglobin to avoid chronic anemia and their complications but obviously treat the cause first.
if nothing help try capsule endoscopy to visualize all your gut to find out the disease area
thank you
