Hi, I am not a doctor by any means, and my knowledge of medicine is very limited, so please do not take my advice as a mean to treat or cure anything. My knowledge is based on the fact that I have suffured from GERD since a very young age and now I was diagnosed with Chronic gastritis. From one of my conversations with my doctor, I presented my new diet and he very much agreed with it up to the point of drinking milk. First as a gastritis patient you should limit the amount amount of fat in your meals, this includes milk. Try fatfree milks, they go better with your stomach. The second issue with milk is that contains calcium and although calcium is cointained in many acid-relief pills, it will calm your stomach in the short term, but in the long term it can cause a acid rebound, affecting again your stomach. Therefore it becomes a vicious cycle of relieving and acidulating your stomach. Hopefully this will serve, greetz Bratzo

"Calcium tablets" is a bit vague. If you put calcium metal in water it will form bubbles as the calcium reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas (the bubbles).
