Could be a Gastrointestinal Bleed. I don’t think it would have to do with the over the counter med you took. I would go get checked out As soon as possible.

Probably just from the emergen or something you ate. Pepto Bismol will do it, too.
If it continues even when stopping taking the energen or eating different stuff, get it checked out, it could be blood. But that is a worst case scenario. I wouldn’t even worry about it for now.

Could indicate blood or the ingestion of iron supplements.
