Hii Lybrate user kindly consult a physician or gastroenterologist asap. Your case requires proper history, examination and laboratory evaluation which may include endoscopy. Don't neglect your symptoms and kindly refrain from using drugs like pantoprazole without proper consultation by a doctor. The blackish stool with reddish pink component may or may not be due to the consumed beetroot and needs evaluation. The fact that you are using antacids are itself indication of some gastrointestinal problem probably gastritis or ulcer which may lead to above symptoms.
