Subject: Re: What does blood in stool look like?
Blood from a stomach ulcer causes the stool to be black or almost
black in color because the blood is digested by the time you see it.
Actual red blood in the stool would have to come from much further
down the line, unless there was massive bleeding, which doesn't seem
to be the case.
