How do commercial products like peptobismol or mylanta help to ease stomach issues?

Neutralizing...: The short answer is that they neutralize the digestive juices temporarily. If there has been some insult to the stomach its inherent ability to protect itself from its own juices may be overwhelmed. These products help in the short term. If symptoms persist, see md.
