I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed healing ulcers and barretts esophagus.  I take omeprazole.  I have thrown up blood and have had black stools.  I have reoccurring diarieha or really loose stools. I continue to have pain, belching, passing gas, nausea.  Could these symptons be caused by my ulcers bleeding again.

They are definitely a sign that your GI system is not doing well right now. If these are new symptoms and they don't go away very quickly then you should have them evaluated before they become severe or dangerous. As you already know the black stools and vomit are signs of internal bleeding. Sudden severe internal bleeding can be life threatening.

 

I think you should see someone soon.
