Pepto Bismol

Linda Harrison · February 27, 2004

I've had gas and the runs BAD for about 12 hours now. I can't try to release the gas without getting up and going to the restroom. I haven't slept and I'm getting nauseous from no sleep, too many gas-x, and not being able to get rid of the gas. The Gas-x arent helping much I don't think. I'm so sick of having to run run run to the toilet...and think maybe if I could stop the diarrhea I could get rid of the gas more easily and get rid of the nausea. HELP! Can you take Pepto Bismol? I have some and I'm tempted to go in there and swallow some.

Everyone at work and at home have had this bug, last about 1-2 weeks(sorry)

I take the pepto swallowable pills since the liquid makes me gag.It helped a bit but this bug needs to run it's course.

I have read there are irritating ingredients in Pepto that bandsters should avoid - I believe Maylox was recommended instead. Sorry I don't recall the specifics, but it was probably discussed on one of the two following Yahoo groups: smartbandsters, or graduatebandsters.

Hope you're feeling better soon!
