Hi,
Inhaling fumes and stools color change is less likely observed.
The fumes may have heavy metal that can lead to respiratory problems and dyspnea.
Please see for the cause of stool color change with food or food additives or antacids or iron tablets consumption etc.
Use tablet Pantoprazole. Avoid spicy food, alcohol consumption, smoking and caffeine drinks.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
