A member asked:
Are there other good otc meds besides pepto bismol for stomach pain? dont like it turning stool dark
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kind of pain?: Is it crampy or do you feel like you have to go to the bathroom but are unable? Is the pain all over or in one place? Best to see your doctor. They can begin a workup and test the stool for blood. If positive you will need a endoscopy/colonoscopy. Ideally you would like o know what is causing your pain before you treat it
