Just remember tums have calcium. ...I ended up with kidney stones from them with my first. I use prilocec for heartburn because if that
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.
Prilosec OTC is great to if Tums stop working for you.
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.
Ok great thanks hopefully I can finally get some release.
It was my best friend my entire pregnancy
