    any chance that you have taken Pepto bismol for the bloating and gas or any other medicine for it?

    Greetings,

    as stated above, Pepto Bismal can cause black stool, as can iron supplements. If you havent had either of those, I would be concerned about bleeding. I had black stool 8 months ago and was hospitalized for three days. be well
