Hi Janet,
I have had repeated problems with intestinal bleeding, sometimes resulting
in black stool, sometimes in other indications. I no longer take asperin, but
the worst incident took place after I took a couple of aspirins for a headache.
Mistaken ingestions of gluten will sometimes do it too. Other times, I can't
identify the cause.
I hope that is reassuring.
Best wishes,
Ron Hoggan
