The pH of tums/rolaids should be pretty close to 10.
I believe it is around an 8. What it does is helps to maintain somewhat of a "homeostasis" within your stomach, preventing upset stomach and what not.
Tums contains calcium carbonate, which is an alkaline compound that helps neutralize excess stomach acid by raising the pH level in the stomach. When calcium carbonate reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it forms calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water, thus reducing the acidity in the stomach. This process helps provide relief from symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
The increase in pH would be 2, as going from a pH of 1 to a pH of 3 represents a change of 2 pH units.
Apples have a pH level of 3. Also, soda has a pH level of 4, and vinegar's pH level is 2.5.
The pH level of an orange typically ranges from 3 to 4. This acidic pH level gives oranges their tangy taste.
Tums react with acids from the stomach.
Both Tums and Rolaids are effective antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Tums contains calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, while Rolaids contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and any specific dietary considerations.
Tums, Rolaids
neither: peptibsmal
There are some people who claim that Tums or even Rolaids help with their restless leg syndrome. The calcium in the Tums is what helps the restless leg syndrome.
"tums" is pH 19 - it needs to be alkalinic. Also, mint is alkalinic and tums had a very definite taste of mint.
Which ever one has the most Ca2C03, or calcium carbonate.
Yes. Anywhere one can buy Pepto Bismol, Tums or any other antacid.

Antacids are used to neutralize stomach acidity. You take antacids (such as Tums or Rolaids) when you experience heartburn or upset stomach.
Tums, with a pH of 10, are alkaline substances that can help neutralize excess stomach acid, which typically has a pH ranging from 1.5 to 3. By raising the pH in the stomach, Tums alleviate symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. However, while they provide quick relief, they do not address the underlying causes of stomach issues. Regular use should be monitored to avoid potential side effects related to altering stomach acidity.
I suppose it depends on how bad it hurts. You could take Tums or Rolaids. You could also try rubbing your stomach. Hope this helped.
