Any clue what could be wrong?
Brief Answer:
May be due to pepto bismol... Require further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to pepto bismol.
Though it is used for stomach upset but diarrhea, black stool, abdominal cramps are the side effects of pepto bismol.
Still I would suggest you to consult with gastroenterologist for detailed clinical examination. He may procure complete hemogram, stool analysis, ultrasound abdomen, Colonoscopy SOS as per evaluation to rule out any other possibilities for black stool.
Till then kindly stop pepto bismol. You can take tablet loperamide 2 mg after every loose stool up to maximum 10 mg per day. Take tablet ondensetron for nausea /vomiting.
Keep your self hydrated. Avoid hot and spicy foods. Take soft food.
Hope I have answered your query.
