hi
soma, as a rule any problems that is persisent and causing distress and upset should be investigated further, with your
husband immodium can solve the problem in an acute case but is not recommended for long term use. there could be many different reasons why this is a chronic problem, however the most common cause of black tarry stools is the presence of blood. ths can occur with persistent diarrhoea but does need to be investigated properly in order to rule out any serious cause. i would advise you to speak to another doctor or be firm with the doctor that originally refused you. hope this helps
