The company claims that it recalled the bottles because of chemical problems with the bottles themselves. They SAY they will be getting them back on the shelves ASAP as soon as the packaging problem is dealt with, but it's been ages now, and still no rolaids available at any stores near here -- even the foil rolls have disappeared. But that's the official reason given by the manufacturers. In order to substitute you have to buy two products: a standard Calcium based antacid like Tums, and Milk Of Magnesia. The proportion you have to mix them in depends on exactly what you buy.

According to the U.S. manufacturer, all of the reactions (e.g. nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc.) reported in the U.S. to date have been temporary and non-serious.Consumers who have purchased any of the above-listed products and who have concerns about their health should speak to a health care professional.
