Imodium & Pepto Bismol

Postby Bobbie » Wed Jul 19, 2006 11:40 am

Some docs. are now okaying Imodium (including a C. diff. expert altho. others still disagree) & Pepto Bismol for use with C. diff. In the past, most docs. "nixed" Imodium because they thought it prevented toxins from leaving the body; some still do. Most have okayed Pepto Bismol -- I believe the tablets. Neither will "cure" C. diff. -- merely decrease frequency.

It's up to you to check with your personal medical advisor. Remember, this is NOT a medical site.
