i pack the pepto tablets in the first aid kit. never needed them, and i wonder if they are still good?
BTW, aren't you supposed to let the brown river flow for a day or two to remove the offending nasty bug and not stop it up inside of you?

I'm not sure about that. She said:
people came to me that had diarrhea for weeks. I gave them the generic clinic Bismuth Salicylate
"diarrhea for weeks" ????? Yikes! Most cases of traveler's diarrhea last 2 or 3 days.
Pepto Bismol? If it were me I'd find another doctor.

All these people dishing out "home remedies" without posting warnings about possible side effects, dangers and limitations is frightening! Where are
you when we need you Diana?!! Aren't you concerned about our well being any more or is taking cheap uncalled for shots at the doctor your only real
concern?......Jeez, all this drama has caused my feet to swell and my blood sugar to go through the roof, think I'll snort some cinnamon and put on my
turmeric slippers.
Just ignore the trolls Janene, DK will post something irritating sooner or later and they will go back to busting his ball$.....

You become more and more ignorant and clueless as time goes by. But that is okay --- it is your choice.

while Doctor's are good and we need them for sure, lets all remember they r just "practicing" medicine!
And this was the same doctor who professed to have studied wholistic medicine but didn't know potatoes/tomatoes were in the nightshade family, really?
FOOD/plants is one of the first things one learns when going to college for holistic medicine and healing. Just sayin'!
I'll pass on this good Dr.'s advice!

So Doc, if I get a headache, should I try aspirin? I appreciate your free medical advice. I never knew about Pepto Bismol.
Back when I was a famous quarterback in junior high, I remember the cheerleaders screaming kaopectate, kaopectate, stop the runs....I wonder if the
great doctor has an opinion

From someone who has experienced several cases of food poisoning, a case of Salmonella Typhi (Typhoid Fever) and E.Coli while living in Baja. You
should have lab work done if your Diarrhea lasts more than three days. This stuff will kill you and think telling anyone to take pepto bismol for
episodes lasting WEEKS and not see a Doctor is amateur at best.. Not a Doctor just my opinion.

When I worked as a physician in Cantu, people came to me that had diarrhea for weeks. I gave them the generic clinic Bismuth Salicylate, and told
them to take two capfuls after each diarrhea movement, until it stopped. Not one came back to me with the same problem. Antibiotics can actually kill
the natural intestinal flora and cause more problems.

Lancair, no expert opinion here and no one said to HEAD to the ER. All I know is what I have dealt with concerning the topic. By the way I came very
close to NOT surviving!
So flame away!

I think you misinterpreted my statement. The patients that came to me for weeks had been to other doctors not me. The first time they came to me I
started them on Pepto Bismol because most likely the antibiotics they had been on for weeks had destroyed their normal stomach flora.
But you know what, don't ask me. I am on here to discuss topics and maybe to joke around a bit and have a little fun. I do love helping others and
trying to give tips to people. Yet over on Ron Hoff's forum, TalkBaja, he feels differently. He feels he can slam me and my reputation and he feels
safe doing it, and you know why? I am blocked from reading any comments about me because he knows I can't see what he is saying, and I can't respond
either. At least here on Nomad I am allowed to respond if I want. Only a true coward would not allow the person being attacked to answer. Even
DENNIS likes to engage others for a response, yet according to others, a health professional shouldn't act this way.
In other words, you can't act like others, you have to be a stereotype of what THEY want you to be. Sorry that my profession is enjoyable, I have fun
doing it, and I enjoy interacting with people. But I don't think that deserves an apology.
