diarreah

Not a very pleasant subject, but does interferon give you diarreah? If so, what do you do about it?

The doctor said the black stools were caused by the peptobismol. It has stopped now and I had a really good sleep last night.

Whoa thanks for the tip on the black stools. I just emailed my doctor, I'm so worried. I've had tarry soft black stools for three weeks and I cant get rid of them.

This is really freaking me out! Here's when it started:

I bought them down at the Lutheran rumage sale. Brought them home and I can't sit on them. Too soft - make my undies stick to my 'rhoids. Plus the smelly tar. I think they were owned by a roofer.  Put 'em out for the garbage, but the trash man carried them back up to the house. Anyway, I'm hoping the doctor will take them. I think he owns a fishin' shack up in the delta.

OK - Obligatory helpful comments: Pepto gives you the black poopie. Ask your doc for a script for lomatil (sp). Tiny white pill will plug 'er up like stop leak in a radiator!
