What Causes Diarrhea And Black Stool?
I have had an upset stomach for the past week mostly starting around the evening time. I have had diarrhea since then as well. I took some Pepto and now my stool is black. However, I have not taken any Pepto since Saturday night and my stool is still black. I also have some bloating and just feel uncomfortable. Should I go see my doctor?

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
You have problem of black stool and diahorrea that may be because of bleeding from digestive tract.
Ulceration in intestine may cause this type of problems.
Iron tablet supplementation cause black stool problem.
You are taking pepto that is antacid.
Consent a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis..
Stool examination test is helpful for further diagnosis..
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
