Searching4cure,

This method manages my BB within approximately 1 day.

Does bismuth have any curative effect on our guts to neutralize the effects of (or somehow fixing imbalance of) sulfite-reducing bacteria? Or will it be only effective as long as we keep taking the medicine, which is 4 to 8 weeks? compor, In my case bismuth has been effective in managing BB, not cu...

Searching, do you know an alternative product to pepto bismol? Here in Germany I have to order it via amazon from the UK and its expensive foxhound, I have not found an alternative to bismuth subsalicylate, although I use the generic in the United States. A price of 4,79 Euros for 24 tablets of Pep...

According to medical and veterinary literature, nearly all orally-ingested bismuth makes it through the mammalian digestive tract and is eliminated in solid waste, due to low-solubility in water, seen here . As it moves through the digestive tract, bismuth medication, i.e. subsalicylate form (Pepto-...

I started about 8 years ago.

Best wishes in finding a method that works for you.

Apart from the dental enamel issue, even if it does have a corrosive effect on the oral mucosa, as long as there's no visible signs or symptoms, I wonder how much it really matters? Searching, apart from the convenience aspect of using aspirin in this way, are there any alternatives that could do t...

It is agreed that neutral pH is least-likely to affect mucosa. Neutral pH is safest; and, low pH may be harmful. Regarding acidic pH of medication contacting mucosa, the references below cite pH of some nasal sprays. Some formulations employ low pH to unblock nasal congestion or as a medication pres...

can you tell how big the Asprin tablet should be, 100mg, 200mg, or 500 mg? Can you tell if this German "Bayer" brand is buffered or not? http://www.medpex.de/aspirin-p3806873?gclid=CI_ex8vdrsACFQgYwwodgiwA7w#ai300 I use a single tablet daily, that contains 325 milligrams of aspirin. It ap...

Have you had wine or alcohol, with still good results from your breath?

Yes, this method works well for me; and, I drink coffee throughout the day. I also drink wine and other alcohol containing beverages.

Have been brushing with aspirin now for almost 2 weeks and no change for me. When I test buffered aspirin, I find it is not effective in eliminating BB. I use a generic, non-buffered type. Note: This may be damaging to tooth enamel. Many brands of aspirin, e.g. acetylsalicylic acid tablets, are buf...

As I read over the internet, bismuth sub-salicylate has some serious and major side effects. Dont you think consuming it daily is f*****g dangerous ? Yes, it may be dangerous and ill-advised.

compor wrote:Today I will buy bismuth chewing tablets and start using once a day. Should I take it on empty stomach or full?

I've taken the tablets on either an empty, or full stomach, with good results.

Best wishes to you for success.

ruch wrote:is there a reason you decide to swallow the pepto instead of chew it?

Either way seems to be effective. I've been ingesting the tablet, or caplet, without first chewing, to leave the oral ecology undisturbed.

Very interesting information, especially if you are a Type-1. Might be worth also trying the suckable Pepto tablets too, if you haven't already tried them. The same thing you've described going on in the gut presumably also occurs in the mouth too with the suckable tablets. The VSCs turn into some ...
