Hi,
One tablet of Pepto Bismol can not cause black stool. You should better consultant physician for black stool and other complaints as they are indicative of blood loss. You should do your CBC with DC, SGPT, stool for Routine and stool OBT and USG abdomen. If needed gastroenterology consultation should be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
