I just took me pepto that expired jn14 it says will it help my tummy ache or make it worse?

It is never a good: idea to use expired medications however it is unlikely that pepto-bismol will go bad. It may not be fully effective for you but is unlikely to harm you. Don't be cheap. Treat yourself to new fresh quality medications in the future.
