I’m debating whether to go or not because folks are saying that I need coffee grounds look alike mixed in.
I didn’t research that said it had to have that.

Yes, some people’s internal bleeding like I probably have also have a coffee ground look to them.
Do you think you have to have grounds like symptoms?

@andytheman, No, I don't think it is a "requirement" to describe one's black tarry stools as looking like "coffee grounds". The coffee grounds descriptor is typically used to describe emesis or vomit-not stool. Bottom line is bleeding (frank or otherwise) is not normal and definitely,
should be checked out by Urgent Care at a minimum. Hoe you are feeling better and don't have any more concerning symptoms.
