Tums is high on calcium, so they are good for you on top of being great for heart burn.

I have eaten tums since the beginning and they have started not working after about 20 mins the heartburn comes back. So the doc said I could take a zantac in the morning and one on the evening....so far so good.

I was hospitalised last week with heartburn so you gave my sympathy. I can recommend a glass of milk to soothe the pain and yes you can take antacids.

My doctor just told me to take tums at my last appt. Mines so bad and I actually had to ask if heartburn is really what I'm feeling because I've never experienced it before now. She even said that I should take pepcid if I end up eating to many tums during the day.
