I ran across this while googling "Pepto Bismol & UC" because I take it sometimes and wanted to see if that was a good/bad idea. Turns out it helps people with microscopic colitis. Hmmm. Sounds interesting. Apparently PB also kills some bacteria as well as decreases D.

(you have to scroll down a little to find the question about Pepto)

I took mega doses of Pepto years ago when these studies first came out, still have UC. You have to be carefull you can get bi****h toxicity if you take too much for too long. It did prove one thing though, that I have sulfate reducing bacteria in my mouth and colon. Both tongue and stools turned black.
