I seem to recall that you mentioned to me once that you felt better
on antibiotics? If so, that may point to trying the Pepto. It will color your stool dark/black, but that is normal.

Also another soothing thing to try for your throat and stomach gastritis/inflammation would be Slipperly elm.

This is not expensive, and NOW makes an affordable product.
I will try the slippery elm. Pepto bismol works really good for me. Only problem is it gives me horrible diarrhea.

That is odd... Pepto is usually constipating...it is used for minor diarrhea.

You may be intolerant of salicylates. These are in food, aspirin and Pepto.

Maybe it is the salicylate content that is inflaming your stomach?

I will look into it. I got some slippery elm. The best part is it makes me burp, and the burps taste like sausage and maple syrup. Things I haven't been able to eat for almost a year.
