A member asked:
Over 1 month of constipation, dark stools(not black) and acid reflux every day. after finishing drugs for curing helicobacter.what's the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patience: Helicobacter causes peptic ulcer disease and is treated with antibiotics along with acid blockers which should have helped your reflux symptoms. You may need to continue the acid blockers longer; your doc can advise. The bismuth (Pepto-Bismol) part of the treatment could have contributed dark stool. Do fecal occult blood test to reassure you're not bleeding, then push fluids, fiber, exercise.
