If taking Peptobismol before each meal, how long can I continue doing this? I already take OTC meds for Acid Reflux per my Gastrologist, I've been diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus (not in dire need of any surgery as yet). Absolutely everything I eat doesn't digest well, the Peptobismol helps, but I still have stomach pains. I avoid all that could or wood irritate my stomach lining, but yes, I have talked with my PCP, no answers or solutions as yet. Hoping for help through this site.
