Pros: Works, for us it works in one dose Cons: The taste!!

Pros: Goodbye diarrhea, Nausea, and upset tummy Cons: The taste doesn't appeal to everyone (I love it)
Hi everyone. I just ate a delicious dinner of Chicken Quesidillas. They were great, a fact my stomach just can not appreciate. The best cure by far is a dose of the pink stuff. It can't be Tums or Rolaids. It's just not the same. It has to be...

Pepto for Ulcerative Colitis by earls682 ,Dec 14 '04
Pros: It kills bacteria which cause diarrhea. It assists in fluid absorption and solidifies stools. Cons: I get a ringing in my ears when I take a lot.
I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 35 years. About 10 years ago while I was going to the bathroom 10-15 times a day I read an article which said Pepto-Bismol was part of a cure for Ulcers. I began taking it everyday, about 8 ounces per day. After a week, my colitis symptoms were reduce by half, after 3 weeks, by about 90%. Nothing I had ever been prescribed worked as well. It is one of those well guarded medical secrets. I know others with colitis for whom it has helped. Try it, full force for a week.
Pepto-Bismol Original, 4 FL OZ Shake well before Using. For convenient dosing, use pre-measured dose cup. Adults: 2 tbsp or 30 ml. Children 9 to 12 yrs. 1 tbsp or 15 ml; 6 to 9 yrs....
