I had a bit of a bad stomach last week after eating to much takeaways,(which i dont do every weekend) as i suffer from ibs from time to time.I bought some pepto bismol and it seemed to clear it up.Last night i took some of the pink stuff,and after having a bottle of diet coke a few hours ago my stools have gone grey.Is this a result of the pepto bismol,or the coke,or both ?,i feel fine otherwise.

Its from the pepto bismol. If you read on the bottle, it says that it can cause discoloration of the stools.

If you have stomach problems don't drink coke unless it's warm and flat and then just sip it. As far as the color of your stool and any other real medical questions don't take any advice except from a doctor or better yet a nurse. Nurses are often more helpful and more knowledgeable as far as symptoms because it's their job to report to the doctor and to actually care for the patients.

i dont know how normal it is really but what you describe happens when you take pepto bismol regardless of what you eat or drink with it.

The Pepto turns your poop strange colors. It'll clear up soon.
