Can Pepto Bismol cause black stools?
Yes. Taking Pepto Bismol or Kaopectate can turn your stool black. Sometimes it can even turn your stools a green color! Do not be alarmed by this, however.

Black stools can last for several days and the only reason to be concerned is if they do not go away even after you stop taking Pepto Bismol.
