What Causes Black Colored Stool Inspite Of Having Antibiotics For Oral Infection?
Ive recently had oral surgery & had an infection which caused the dr to place me on stronger antibiotics, done w/antibiotics a few days ago & today when I made a bowel movement I noticed a long black (thicker than hair about 2.5in long) type string sticking out & I'm totally freaking out. What could this be?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the black stool color could be due to antibiotic and other medicine that must be contain the iron and of course the diet could also affect the stool color, and this is nothing to worry because this would come around as soon as you stop the medicine, have a nice day.
