Can pepto bismal cause narrow stools?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't: Pepto bismal can cause the stool to become black because it contains bismuth. However, it should not cause thin stools. If you have chronic narrow stools -it is important to have this medically evaluated. Any major change to bowel habitus warrants assessment.
