A member asked:
My stomach hurts after eating. is it better to take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) or an antacid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antacid better: Personally I have never been fond of Pepto Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) mainly due to its annoying side effect of making your stools turn black which can be alarming for some people.
