Its the bismuth from the tablets. Your stool may be black too.
Its the bismuth from the tablets, it can make your stool black as well.
Most likely it's the pepto bismol after it has been in your stomach and come back up but at the least get off pepto and get on something better suited to fight acid reflux like nexium otc or zantac and please get in and see a doctor that knows about Gerd.
