Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I woke up this morning with a black tongue, a bitter taste in my mouth and black specks in my saliva. I do have barretts esophagus and I take a proton pump inhibitor. Last night I also took a chewable pepto bismal. During my research, I found that pepto could be the cause of the black tongue but I am concerned about the black specks in saliva and the bitter taste.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and I would like to say that the symptom you gave here demand the clinical examination and even the particle examination of your saliva then and this it would be clear, what ever your are thinking may not be the thing and this may be something else, hope this may helps you, take care and have a nice day.
