Loose Motions Black In Colour, Vomitting. Taking Medicines. Matter Of Concern?
I feel like I might of had the nasty stomach flu everyone has been talking about. Yesterday I could not eat anything and kept pooping liquid and throwing up if I tried to eat anything. Today I feel better and the throwing up has stopped I just ate and held it down but I just pooped liquid that is black... I have taken pepto bismo and same advil for the fever and stomach aches I had yest... Should I be worried or will it eventually work out of my system?

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
I think you are suffering fro acute infectious enteritis for which you simply require a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin.
Black stool is due to pepto bismo which you have taken as it is its common side effect. So nothing to worry about that.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
