When I got pregnant I had to take a lot of chewable off brand Pepto tablets for heartburn, now it's like I am addicted to them. For ten months I have been eating them almost every single day between 6 to 13 a day. I love the chalky texture and the taste, other people get hooked on certain candy, mine is Pepto. I have tried looking online to see if it could be harmful but I don't really find anything bad. But here lately every time I eat I get awful gas and pain in my stomach so I have been trying to stop eating them. I'm trying to stick to maybe three a day then just one and then none. Yes I am tapering from damn Pepto. Could this cause actual harm and could I have permanently hurt my stomach or will it get better?

@vward If not I will just deal, these stories people have told scare the crap out of me. I hope it hasn't messed my stomach up for good.
@amandahenry546 yeah I'm not sure if there is a mint flavor or not I havent had them in a long time. Hopefully you can find some kind of substitute though!
@vward I am very weird about it, I hate tums and name brand Pepto, the only ones I like are the rexall brand bismuth tablets, they are amazing. But I think the neccos have one flavor that is kind of minty so I may try them. I eat tons of wintergreen lifesavers to try to keep my mouth occupied lol but I will definitely check them out and see if I like them
@sixplus1 @amandahenry546 YES! Necco Wafers! I hate them lol. But they are very similar to tums tablets
@sixplus1 If they had a minty taste I'd probably love them I could probably go through and pick out the one color that is kind of minty haha
@crystalhealing Oh my lord, well that along with the person who said someone died in their sleep from this has definitely got me turned away from them. I will no longer be taking them, I honestly didn't think it could be harmful until my stomach started hurting. Thank you for the advice
And what's in them is really close to asprin which is not good in excess.
My grandma took pepto daily for minor stomach problems. This went on for 15 years. Then one day my sisters and I went to her house to check on her because she hadn't answered our calls and we found her on the floor surrounded in the most foul smelling vomit we'd ever smelled.
Once at the hospital she continued to vomit. The dr's checked her intestines and she had a complete blockage due to prolonged use of pepto. She was not able to digest food and was throwing up BOWEL MOVEMENTS! That's why it smelled so horribly. Not sure if it was a rare incident but just thought I'd let you look into it yourself. I wouldn't wish that on anyone 🤢
Are they the same as tums? I never googled tums but they are probably just alike. I have got to stop. I just love them so much. Ugh I wish they made a candy that was just like them
Yes I just asked my mom who is nurse she had a friend who tried doing something like that to calm an ulcer and he passed in his sleep it throws off body's natural acid
Eating too many Tums or pepto tabs may irritate your digestive tract and may cause side effects of nausea and vomiting. Stomach discomfort may also contribute to a temporary loss of appetite. If you experience persistent vomiting or severe nausea, seek additional care from your physician.
The calcium in those tablets causes kidney and gallbladder stones.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
First day, no Pepto :(
