But, you might temporarily try an over the counter medication like Pepto bismal.
Oh yeah, that's true. I don't want to have too many changes going on at once.
I took Pepto once, but it altered the color of my bowels and I got scared so I stopped taking it!
I am trying Tums, bananas and plain rice. It works sometimes.
