If you're referring to the wording on the Pepto-Bismol label, that's just there for people who have an inflammatory bowel disease, but who don't realize it, and they don't have a diagnosis. IOW, it's there to inspire them to go see their doctor, and get a diagnosis. The manufacturer puts that on the label, not because Pepto will cause something bad to happen, but because you have to know what you're doing, in order to successfully treat an IBD.Lisa wrote:why does it say ask your doctor if you have mucus in your stool, when she knows I do, what will happen.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
There is certainly a good possibility that the Pepsi could cause constipation, if you don't have D to begin with. Also, a few people are sensitive to bismuth subsalicylate, and they aren't able to take it without getting dizzy, cramps, etc. We're all different, so it's difficult to predict exactly what will happen in your case.

Pepto-Bismol coats the lining of the intestines with a protective film, so that should help to reduce the amount of mucus, but I wouldn't take it if I didn't have D.
