Bismuth is a heavy metal compound. Very good in killing H. pylori. It was banned for a while in Europe because of its side effect. People who takes Bismuth will have very dark color stool, which confused doctor for internal bleeding. In early days, doctors are unaware of it and sent people for unnecessary operation.
