Black Bowel Movement, Grumbling Noises In Stomach, Excess Flatus. Had Taken Pepto-bismol Earlier In The Day, Excess Of Pizza. Cause?
Hello. I just had a black bowel movement . I drank some pepto bismol this morning and I read that that may be the cause of it. I also just ate a lot of pizza without really eating much all day. My stomach has been making funny noises and throbbing. I also have some extra gas here and there. I have been indulging in alcohol a lot lately but not much in the past two days. What can it be? I m I worrying for nothing?
