Hi .. my son has Ulcerative Colitis and is taking the medicine Humira. He has been complaining of stomach pains and sore muscles in his shoulders and tonight he said that his stools are black. What is the cause of this and what should we do about the situation.
IIN ulcerative colitis, often there's some blood loss which presents as black stools. A stool test for blood can rule this out. I may suggest taking pantoprazole 40 mg once a day empty stomach also and Chat Doctor. Consult your treating physician Alsatians
