You may have a bleeding ulcer in stomach and will need endoscopy.

Endoscopy was already done to rule out Celiac and H pylori but it was ok.

Bismol is a drug which can cause black stool.. Get ur CBC done... Stop Bismol then still if there is black stool then ur gut need to have a look endoscopically

Okay , make sure none of the tablets contain iron as this can give you false dark stools. Make sure hb remains stable. Take high dose PPI such as Es omeprazole 40 for 2 week and avoid spices etc. See if this makes a difference
