A member asked:

Not sure if i have the stomach flu or the indian food i ate didn't sit right. can i use pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) to help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure, no harm there.: If it's food related there may be associated diarrhea, and will be limited to 12-18 hrs. Try to stay hydrated. Either way it should be self limited. Of course, if symptoms worsen or persist more than 2-3 days, i suggest you contact your provider. Good luck.
