Pepto Bismol immunty?

Bottles? Doesn't he know it comes in chewable tablet form? I always keep a few in my pocket if I'm going to be away from home for awhile.

Lol! I think (for my buddy at least) the pepto is serving as a placebo now. There was a time he needed it but NOBODY could have upset stomach as much as he claims to. Possibly the action of taking out the bottle, opening the cap, and taking a "swig" of it is theraputic for him?

Personally, I really don't care for the taste of it, but to each his own!

David - it tastes better than vomit!

Pepto-Bismol is my standby too. I try to use it as little as I have to. I don't even go through a bottle a year. As I repeat to anyone who will listen, Pepto-Bismol has proven powerful enough in laboratory tests at suppressing the vomiting center that it can even counteract a small dose of syrup of ipecac.

Lol yep that is true!

When I was a tiny little kid, well before I was emet, I had a bad chest congestion / cold kind of thing. It gave me a fever and I was really out of it.

Next day I woke up and mom and grandma told me I kept asking for Pepto and would not go to bed until they gave it to me!

I had heard people say it helped whe they were "sick" and I didn't understand there were different kinds of sick. This was before I had ever vomited the first time.
