Why My Stool Colour Is Dark Reddish Black?
I've felt a little under the weather the last few days, have been on the verge of throwing up. I've had diarrhea. I have been taking quite a few gums as they seemed to lessen the feeling. I still have diarrhea but my stool is a very dark reddish black. Can it be caused from taking Tums?
