Dark stools suddenly

[bigemet]

Hello hello,


I just noticed that my stools were so dark today. All of a sudden. Just yesterday it was fine. They were like that when i was iron but i'm not on iron anymore, it's been weeks since i got off the iron. I've been taking tylenol for my cold and took a dose of pepto bismol yesterday for some stomach discomfort. I'm a lil scared since i associate dark stools with various digestive disorders. What do you think?[img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

Don't worry...it's the pepto....it always turns your stools darker like that...no need to panic

I'm sure there's a warning on pepto bottles about that

Yep, pepto does that to me too, it also turns my tongue black.

It's the pepto. There is an ingredient in it that makes your tongue (sometimes) and stools dark. You'll be fine. I promise!
