Taking Pepto Bismol For Bacterial Infectious Diarrhea And IBS. Would It Be Safe To Take Hyoscyam Along With Pepto Bismol?
I believe I may have a bacterial infectious diarrhea. I have IBS, but these symptoms are much more acute and painful. I am taking Pepto Bismol for this upset. I take Hyoscyam when I need it. Would it be safe to take it for cramps along with the Pepto Bismol? Thank you.

Hello there!
Thank you for asking
You have IBS and just peptobismol and some anticholinergic like hyoscine won't be enough. you need a plan. which includes diet lifestyle and a good gastroenterologist consult for management. Stop self medication, Seek consultant help. Get some psychological rehabilitation works like charm in ins. seek dietitian to sort out diet plan for you.Avoid caffein, increase fiber and water intake and many more which a dietitian will let you know.
Good Luck and get well soon
