Symptom #6: Change in Stool

If you have gastritis, you should pay attention to any changes in the color and appearance of your stool. In some cases, the stool can have a tar-like appearance and become darker than usual (remember to compare it with your normal stool).

If this occurs, it usually means that there is bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract (due to erosion causing ulcer). If you notice this, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
