Recently I went to the doctor after a few days of diarrhea, stomach cramps, really bad gas, burping, general feeling of unwellness. He told me that it sounded like I had a bleeding ulcer because my stools were dark black. He put me on Aciphex to help relieve the symptons of the acid and then from dark black my stools went to green and now they are almost white!! :eek:
Is this a normal side effect of either an ulcer and any form of antacid I'm taking or Aciphex in general or what do you think this sounds like? I spent last night in the emergency room having blood tests and xrays only to be told, they couldn't find anything wrong and to go back to the doctor if the pains didn't stop. I'm almost pulling my hair out, I just want to know is this normal or does this sound like something else? :confused:
