Gastrointestinal bleeding may be microscopic, so you can’t see it. (Doctors call that “occult” blood.) Or you may easily see it as red blood, or black tar-like bowel movements.
Some of the more common causes include colon cancer, esophagitis, peptic ulcers, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular ectasias, portal hypertensive gastropathy, gastric antral vascular ectasias, and small bowel tumors (eg, GI stromal cell tumor, lymphoma, carcinoid, adenocarcinoma, or polyp).
