For Indigestion "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."

For Indigestion "It's so good. My stomach was hurting for 8 hours. When I finally took Pepto-Bismol, it disappeared. I'm so grateful there is medicine as good-tasting and useful as Pepto-Bismol."

For Diarrhea "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."
