Tums

Every time I take some for my heartburn my stomach and throat feel really weird afterward. I can't really describe it. Its almost like an upset stomach but I feel like I have a rock in my stomach. Is this normal? What can I do to make myself feel better while taking tums?

Its not that it didn't help. It does. It just makes me feel weird after it gets through the heartburn.

Tums help me.. But if they are not working you should try eating small meals and make sure you re sitting up right after them.. dont eat before bed also that used to make mine horrible but thats always when i get my cravings lol..
