Stomach and tongue discoloration Posted: 04-04-08 06:57am
After eating dinner last night- homemade
london broil wraps- I began getting a
stomach ache about 1 hr later. After
using the tiolet, it did not go away, so I
took Pepto-bismol, which did not work
either. I went to sleep with a stomach
ache and woke up this morning with a
slight ache. But that is not the primary
concern- after brushing my teeth, I
noticed my spit was dark-
reddish/balckish. I noticed my tongue was
dark in color- appeard to be
reddish/blackish. I did nto drink any
dark or otherwise colored fluids before
going to sleep nor has this ever happened
to me. Any thoughts? Is this something I
should get checked out?

According to your symptoms (stomach pain
after eating) you probably had some easy
acute gastritis that passed spontaneously.
I am not sure about that “dark-
reddish/blackish colored spit and
tongue” but if it repeats you can
consult your GP in order to exclude
bleeding in the upper digestive system.
