    Help Now I'm Really Panicking - Very Dark Stool

    I was experiencing loose stools for roughly a week. They started to subside yesterday, and I was relieved. However this morning I got up and went to the toilet, and the stool was a colour I've never seen before - very, very dark, charcoal almost black! I am now terrified!

    I was taking immodium and pepto bismol earlier in week, but last took it 36 hours ago. Could it be the pepto bismol that has caused this, even 48 hours later?

    [EDIT] I have just discovered that this is supposedly a side effect of Pepto Bismol. I last took it around 36 hours ago, so I imagine this it finally working its way through my system?
