Pepto-Bismol

Postby Whyme111 » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:01 pm

Hi,
Question regarding taking anti-diarrhea med:
I've read different takes on whether or not to take Pepto while being treated for C diff. I am currently on a Vanco pulse and recently slipped back into an old habit of eating a bowl of mini wheats at night. :/ I believe the cereal is processing through my system faster now and I think I need to rethink my late night snack. :( Anyways, can I please get your opinion on taking Pepto? (I know your not Dr.'s and I'm asking from your experience.) I guess I fear of C Diff still being present and trapping those toxins in by taking the med.
Thanks for your time.

I have taken Pepto, but not when on vanco. Maybe something like Florastor would help. I don't think Pepto would trap toxins, especially while you are on vanco, but check with your doctor.
