I have stomach issues and always take prilosec but sometimes that's not always good enough. why can't i take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) while pregnant? i need it!

No Peptobismol: Peptobismol has Aspirin like products in it. Discuss with your ob/gyn sucking on raw ginger root for pregnancy related issues. Careful with the prilosec. If you have taken for a while, it can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. Might consider having B12 levels checked.
