For Indigestion "I find that this works for me better than Pepto Bismol. I use the liquid version. Absolutely love it. Works in 15 minutes or less. A lifesaver if I get a stomachache before bed, this helps me sleep and forget I even had a stomachache."

For Diarrhea "Kaopectate is awesome. It worked from the first dose. It helps stomach viruses and bacteria and really got me out of a jam. It doesn't have a lot of sugar in it like Pepto does."

For Diarrhea "I like Kaopectate, but it should stay in your system longer than 2 days. I also like the vanilla-flavored kind, it does help."

For Diarrhea "I took the tablet form, which is not mentioned on this website. (Perhaps that form is new.) I took one dose (two tablets) after the first BM. I took two more one hour later after the second BM. That was the last BM after several days of diarrhea. This diarrhea is a side effect of a new Rx medication, which I am continuing to take. I had no side effects from Kaopectate."
