Tums are my best friends lol, I have bad heartburn and a messed up gallbladder so I am always chewing on a tum (I get the chewable tums). You can have 6 in a 24 hour period.

My doctor told me I could munch as many tums as I wanted for heartburn as long as I didn't constipate myself. They're safe, basically a calcium supplement. If you're in a pinch, you can also chug about 8oz of milk and that should settle it for a couple hours. That's what I have to do at work when I don't have my tums.

My doc said I could pop as many tums as needed or to try mylanta (he suggested it cold)

Just don't take them the same time as your prenatal or other meds before the calcium can affect iron absorption ect..

Tums do nothing for my heartburn so my doctor prescribed pepcid. It has saved my life.
