I have had black stool from Tuesday and it is now Monday for me. I didn’t pass a stool for 2 days and I passed one 5 minutes ago and it doesn’t seem as dark as it was and only a trace amount of blood whereas before it was quite a lot. Does this mean it’s ok now or what should I do? I’ve had a pain in the left side of my stomach for a good few days now as well and it triggers when I have a bowel movement and when I eat. I believe this may be a stomach ulcer but I am not sure. I got tablets from A&E and they told me I have a respiratory tract infection which I don’t understand has anything to do with my black stool. My bloods and urine came back normal. What should I do?

Is it possible for COVID-19 vaccines to have an impact and or be a result of a change in the gastrointestinal areas? Especially with elderly adults?
