Black Coating On The Tongue, Diarrhea. Could This Be Due To Dehydration?
Hello. Its been extremely hot and I have been doing a lot of hard physical work the last couple of days. Yesterday my tongue developed a black coating on it and last night I had a bad case of diarehea. I only drank one glass of water yesterday and did have a couple cans of cold root beer while on break at work. I feel fine today but my tongue is still black. Could this be a sign of dehydration?
