You can eat the daily limit but try not to do it every day because they can cause kidney stones due to a high calcium intake.

It don't work for me either! I took two an it literally only lasted about 30 mins then the heart burn was back :/.    I just drink a glass of milk every time I eat an that seems to help me :) or I'll eat a bowl of ice cream that helps me to :)))

I think I'll have to keep tums around to stay away from so much milk and it's side effects!!!

You can have more than one tums. Whatever calcium ur body didn't absorb you'll just pee out.
