Dear Patient,

His weight change is alarming. Hb is low and black stools indicate that bleeding is happening in his intestines to cause this. Does he drink/smoke? Whats his diet like? Does he have normal stool(number/consistency) or watery/constipated? Include more fiber and 16-18 glasses water in his diet.
