The last 30 hours I have had diahrea, along with bloating on my sides and pain.

Now I feel like I'm going to vomit.

I just noticed that my tongue has a lot of black crap on it. Any ideas? Should I

stop abx until I can call my llmd on monday?

Abx on I'm: plaquinel,

clarithromycin, and cefdnir. I added cefdnir a once daily 3 days ago. I noticed

about a week ago when I would take clarithromycin I would get a bad taste in my

mouth a few hours later.

I also took 3 peptal bismol tablets yesterday for diahrea. Could that

cause it?

Yes. Here's some info. from the Pepto Bismol site:

"Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth. When a small amount of bismuth combines with trace amounts of sulfur in your saliva and gastrointestinal tract, a black-colored substance (bismuth sulfide) is formed. This discoloration is temporary and harmless. It can last several days after you stop taking Pepto-Bismol."

Thanks Sonatina! I was thinking something was really wrong.
