Brief Answer:
yes can be used
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can use the kaopectate to help relieve your symptoms.
This can be used for nausea, GERD (reflux), diarrhea, abdominal discomfort. It should help to relieve the nausea and indigestion that you are experiencing.
Antibiotics can be associated with gastrointestinal upset, it is possible that the combination of the antibiotics and popcorn would have precipitated your symptoms.
If the kaopectate on its own is not effective you can also try anti nausea medication such as dramamine.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
