Pepto bismol has aspirin in it that is why it is not safe!

According to the list my OB gave me, you can use Koapectate, Imodium, Pepcid AC and Tums...Pepto Bismol and Mylanta aren't on the list. :(

I've asked the pharmacist for guidance before...just let them know that you're pregnant and they'll show you what's safe.

Unfortunately u have to be careful taking anything.. a cold glass of ice milk helped mine. I also did tums. But tried to limit myself to only 2 a day.
