For that you need to turn to loperamide (brand name Immodium). Loperamide works by decreasing the motility of the smooth muscle in your digestive tract, taking care of the cramping problem. Kaopectate, another diarrhea solution, features the same active ingredient as Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate), so you might as well stick with Pepto. I like the tablets.
