Are Tums okay?

KaitlynDC6

I know I can Google, etc., but thought I'd ask you ladies, too. I never had heartburn with #1, so I never asked...

Thanks!

Yes.  I should have bought stock in them I've taken so many!

kimandjared

Yes! I was actually told they are a good source of calcium as well.

Yep go for it.. My Dr's said his wife went through a bottle every 2 days. I can't take them cause they make me SO sick

MandyWes

Yes but they stop working after a while. My doctor recommended Zantac and  it has been great!

Thanks so much, ladies!

Yes, but be careful not to eat them "like candy" like some people say they do.  You actually can overdo it on Tums.  Check the back of the bottle to see how many you can take in a day (it's different for different strengths).  If Tums don't work, you can take Zantac or Pepcid.

I didn't need them for DS #1 either. But I have the worst heartburn this time around. I take the regular strength ones, and they work.

YES!!! I can't survive being pg without them

My doctor said they're fine and I hope they are because I down them every day. I take zantac too which was approved by my doc. My heartburn is AWFUL!

I sure hope so, I chew them like they are going out of style. They are a great source of calcuim.

If you want to get technical, they are category C but I wouldn't bat an eye at that.  I lived off tums for months.

I find Rolaids work a lot better than Tums.  Maybe it's from going through 4 or 5 bottles of Tums though.

tums have become my bedtime candy... I normally have to pop two every night! I like the mixed berry!
