Question: Best answer gets 10 points


Answers: Best answer gets 10 points

Pepto-Bismol is bismuth subsalicylate, which is used to treat diarrhea in adults and teenagers. It is also used to relieve the symptoms of an upset stomach, such as heartburn, indigestion, and nausea in adults and teenagers.

It is very important that the fluid lost by the body be replaced and that a proper diet be followed . For the first 24 hours you should drink plenty of clear liquids, such as ginger ale, decaffeinated cola, decaffeinated tea, broth, and gelatin.

During the next 24 hours you may eat bland foods, such as cooked cereals, bread, crackers, and applesauce. Fruits, vegetables, fried or spicy foods, bran, candy, and caffeine and alcoholic beverages may make the diarrhea worse.

If too much fluid has been lost by the body due to the diarrhea a serious condition may develop. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following signs of too much fluid loss occur:

* Decreased urination
* Dizziness and lightheadedness
* Dryness of mouth
* Increased thirst
* Wrinkled skin

According to their advertising it does.

I doesn't make it go COMPLETELY away, but it does help and makes you feel a lot better.

Yes. At least for me. It usually takes more than one swig, but it does the job.

Its in the annoying catchy song!

It works pretty good on diarrhea and just about any general stomach problem unless it's really severe.

If you got it real bad immodium AD is probably the strongest stuff you can get.

Well, have you ever heard the song?
Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea!

So apparently, it does. I've never tasted it though but it looks like melted bubblegum. Yum. =D
