"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."

"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!"

"Pepto-Bismol is outstanding! I had a severe bout of nausea, and almost immediately after I took a dose of this life-saver, my nausea vanished. I recommend every one of you to try this."

"I get painful gas and bloating often after dinner, especially if I eat too much or too much fat. Pepto Bismol usually works great and within 20 minutes. Good stuff for sure."

"I can't take Pepto-Bismol, because if I do, I get an allergic reaction. I will break out in a rash. Shame too, it does help, but the rash isn't worth the risk."
