So, my medicine cabinet now looks like walgreens, with all vitamins and supplements I'm now taking. but the question I have is that I am taking tums for my calcium intake, and I was wondering if taking an antacid for calcium is ok, when i don't have a reflux problem. the other day I got a very odd type of nausea, and I didn't know if perhaps that was causing it. granted after a bottle of water I ate and felt much better. Anyone else taking tums for calcium? Sorry for ranting, but needed to ask!

I take Tums for my calcuim and have seen several others on here say the same. Doesn't seem to be a problem for me. I think I may have even read that as a suggestion in my literature.

My dr said to take tums for the calcium. but I take Caltrate with Vitamin D.

I prefer the taste of them so the tums are sitting in my cabnet with everything else I was told to get and didnt need.

oh I have been taking the Caltrate for years for other issues and because My grandma has weak bones from calcium defiency. Dr and I thought it would be good to take them.

I know some people take the calcium chocolate candy thing. not tums. so if you dont like the tums their are other options.

Tums also counter act the birth control pill. I dont need that issue to deal with right now. lol
