Dr. Pepto.: If not allergic to aspirin, Pepto Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) is a great choice for upset stomach. You can buy OTC lactaid which breaks the lactose found in milk and dairy products so you can tolerate them in the future, although this is effective before you eat the food, not so much at the point you are in now. Drink fluids to prevent dehydration, if diarrhea continues go to your doctor.

YES!: Use extra-strength PEPTOBISMOL a table spoon every 4 hours for 5 doses and drink GATORADE 12 ounces every 2 hours while awake. The syndrome should vanish in about 24 hours
