"I was so sick from a stomach virus going around my city, including my own doctor's office staff. I literally felt like I was dying. My wonderful neighbor brought me a bottle of Pepto-Bismol, and after the first dose, I immediately started feeling better. I couldn’t believe it, as I had been delirious only moments before."

"As a college student with moderate IBS symptoms/overly sensitive stomach, sharing one bathroom with four people can REALLY be scary. Instead of having to climb out the window and run into the woods or bang on the door begging for mercy, popping a couple Pepto tablets can REALLY help relieve the symptoms of impending doom. It mellows my stomach out within 5 minutes of taking, doesn't taste bad, and gives me a sense of safety. Sometimes, your stomach still gets upset much later, which at that point is completely fine - it has to come out sometime, right? Generally speaking, it's usually great, and I never get the upset stomach! I recommend it to anyone, it's saved me many times and can do the same for you."

"It worked after I took like 6 of them over the course of a couple of hours. It was a bad decision, though, as it made me constipated for 5 or 6 days after that. Be careful if you have IBS and have alternating constipation/diarrhea or any other related stomach issues."

"Let me be the first to mention I used to love taking Pepto-Bismol up until one day I had an urgent need to go to use the restroom, and to my surprise, I was devastated by what Pepto-Bismol did to me. Let me be clear, I don't mean to sound nasty, or I don't want to spoil anyone's appetite, but I'm only on here because I have to be totally, completely honest. My stool was black, tarry, and bloody. Be careful how much of this you consume, and what's even worse, I had to switch from taking Pepto-Bismol to now taking Mylanta. It's going to take decades for me to get used to this."

"Excellent stomach flu remedy. Stops symptoms quickly. For bad digestive issues such as the stomach flu, the max liquid works better than caplets or chewable tablets. Gives fast, effective relief."

"Pepto-Bismol did not cure my problem, but it slowed diarrhea until I was able to get to the doctor. A must-have in all medicine cabinets!"

"Pepto-Bismol did nothing for me. I took the maximum amount recommended for a full day. Woke up the next morning to an undescribable condition. I'm going back to reliable Kaopectate."
