Hey Liz! >Why buy bismuth supplements for ulcers when good old Pepto-Bismol will do the >trick? I think it's active ingredient is bismuth subsalicylate.
Often wondered that myself! I guess you could, but I don't think most of us thought of Pepto-Bismol as anything more than something you took when you had a stomachache, certainly not as a supplement you'd take for any length of time. If anyone did take it for a prolonged time it probably did cure their ulcer. Beyond that, why take the Bismol if you can take just Bismuth? It did have a nice flavor, but that would probably get old after a few days. You don't know how much you'd have to take to get the required dose of Bismuth! Good question though.
