Diarrhea: You have viral diarrhea. Your black stool is due to the bismuth in pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate). Stay on a bland diet. Do not eat anything greasy or fried. Stay off milk and milk products stay away from juice. Eat lots of rice and rice products. Use electrolyte replacement fluids. Diarrea lasts about 10 days.
