No, But you can take Tums and Ambien! ;)
No! TUMS are good BUT Rolaids dissolve easier and are quicker to neutralize acid. ***Personally neither of them are the best to me. They both have calcium. Too much calcium ends up causing acid reflux, which means you have to pop another tums or rolaids again. I think Gingera is the best antacid. Why? because it's all natural. It's effervescent and all you need to do is take it once for your indigestion or nausea to vanish.
Tums react with acids from the stomach.
"tums" is pH 19 - it needs to be alkalinic. Also, mint is alkalinic and tums had a very definite taste of mint.
Put the TUMS tablet on a scale...
Sure. Low sodium salt is made mostly of a mineral called silvite. Calcite, or calcium carbonate, is the main ingredient in products like Tums or Rolaids.
