Bismuth subsalicylate, aka Pepto-Bismol. It is effective against the H. pylori bacteria.

When I had a stomach ulcer, the med the doctor had me on included 6 bismuth per day for 14 days. The original prescription was Helidac, a combination of bismuth subsalicylate, metronidazole, and tetracycline.

Consult your health professional before taking any advice from Internet forums.

It is not me that I am worried about, I don't have that problem. Two kids, four grand kids, what are the chances down the line for them having the problem ?
