A member asked:
Sometimes i have intestinal cramping, will pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) or mylanta help with this...the symptoms come and go after an intestinal bug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Do not use peptobismol, as bismuth is toxic. Consider good probiotics, and avoiding wheat and dairy until you heal.
