Is Black Tongue A Characteristic Of Acid Reflux?
My husband recently saw a physician who diagnosed him with acid reflux. He has had stomach sensitivity and gastritis periodically for many years. This time, he also presented with a black tongue (first time). He has not taken peptobismol! Is black tongue characteristic of acid reflux? He has been scheduled for an endoscopy.

Black tongue is not characteristic of acid reflux of any type. Other reasons for exposure to certain ailments have to consider here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
