"Let me tell you, Pepto-Bismol is the best medicine I have ever taken for my stomach issues. I have IBS-C, and sometimes my IBS medicine gives me nasty side effects and makes me bloat, have indigestion, stomach pain, and Pepto-Bismol will literally get rid of all my symptoms. I absolutely love it! It has given me back my life, seriously. I do not take my IBS medicine every day. Whenever I need it and then the side effects come, I will take Pepto-Bismol, and I feel actually normal! I forgot what normal felt like until I took this medicine! I always recommend it to my friends and family. I call Pepto-Bismol gold in a bottle. Also, I appreciate not having crazy side effects from this medicine, it just helps me and no problems. I only take it when I take my IBS medicine, and it doesn't stop my IBS medicine from working either! This is great stuff."
