I've taken Pepto a couple of times when I felt extremely nauseous after eating heavy diner food. For me, it settled the stomach irritation enough to prevent actual vomiting. But I only use it for mild cases, not for severe stomach bugs.
It can stop mild vomiting by coating your stomach lining, but if you have a proper stomach flu, your body might still reject it. Sip it very slowly, one teaspoon at a time, rather than gulping down a big dose. Also, keep small sips of ginger water handy to help soothe the nausea naturally.
Vomiting is honestly the worst feeling ever, it makes me feel so weak and helpless every time it happens. Pepto Bismol did help me stop dry-heaving during my last stomach upset. I hope you feel better soon, please take rest and don't force yourself to eat heavy foods.
Since I have thyroid issues, my digestion is already quite slow and I get nauseous easily. Pepto helps occasionally, but if your vomiting is frequent, it's better to consult your doctor to ensure it doesn't affect your regular medication absorption. Don't ignore persistent symptoms.
Honestly, after pulling an all-nighter and drinking way too much black coffee, my stomach gave up and I felt like puking. Pepto Bismol did stop the vomiting, but it also turned my tongue black which gave me a mini heart attack at 3 AM! Just a heads up so you don't panic like I did.

Yes, it actually does help a lot! I always keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet because travel sickness or bad street food can happen anytime. Just take a small dose, lie down in a cool room, and avoid drinking too much water all at once right after vomiting.
