"I've found Pepto-Bismol really useful for when I get acid reflux. It really helps to calm and cool my stomach. Anytime I'm feeling nauseous, it's the first thing I go to! I also take Pepto-Bismol when I've eaten too much, as I do have a binge eating disorder. It helps prevent the reflux before it starts. I only take it when I'm experiencing symptoms."

"Used Pepto with Gas-X for my nausea and gas about half an hour later and vomited severely. I do feel better having vomited, but it wasn’t a pleasant experience. I don’t recommend taking the two together."

"I had a minor acid reflux this week. I didn't know which over-the-counter medicine to take, so I Googled. I randomly ended up at Pepto-Bismol and read some reviews. Most of the reviews were quite positive about the drug, so I went to the nearest Walgreens and bought one. I took it for the next two days as directed, however, it never worked, or I didn't get better! I got annoyed and ended up throwing it away! I went ahead and bought Alka-Seltzer and got better immediately! In conclusion, Alka-Seltzer is great, and Pepto-Bismol is not!"

"It is a must-have in my medicine cabinet, knowing I have it makes me feel so secure. I occasionally (maybe once or twice a year) wake up with very horrible stomach pain, and it used to plague me for up to 48 hours, and I would constantly be worrying about the day it would come. Now, if I do experience stomach pains, taking a dose of Pepto-Bismol eliminates the pain within 30 minutes. It is a miracle drug. I no longer live in fear."
