Ingredient in Pepto-Bismol. “It works by suppressing some of the bacteria [in the stomach],” Makhani explains. “I tend to use this more for somebody who gets traveler’s diarrhea or an upset stomach, not really for indigestion or upper heartburn symptoms. I mean, you could use it — it actually says, if you look it up online, that it can treat occasional heartburn — but I use it more for lower gastrointestinal symptoms.”10. Milk of Magnesia: “Milk of magnesia is good for constipation,” Makhani explains. “You probably won’t need this unless you get constipated from your turkey meal a few days later.”It’s worth knowing that none of these medications are, as far as we know, indisputably more effective than the others. The better takeaway should be that the winning medications (Gaviscon, Mylanta, Amphojel, Gelusil and Maalox) provide broader relief for the basic symptoms associated with eating way too much on Thanksgiving; the second-place medications (TUMs, Rolaids and Alka-Seltzer) are better used to tackle heartburn; the third-place medication (Pepto-Bismol) might make more sense as a preventative defense against diarrhea while you fly out to see your family; and finally, the last-place medication (Milk of Magnesia) is best for helping you shit out that entire Thanksgiving dinner three days later.So for now, take a Maalox and lie down until that gravy-nado calms down.
