Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 My husband and I went out tonight, and I asked him to pull over so I could get some tums, because I was feeling gassy. I didn't really mean tums, I meant gas-X, but tums for me is like a coverall word for tummy medicine, like tylenol is for headaches. Anyways, he said he thought he rememberd someone in Mexicali at the hospital say I wasn't supposed to have Tums. I don't remember this. After questioning him he said he didn't remember if it was just tums, or if rolaids and peptobismol were included and he could'nt remember who said it. I didn't hear this. Does anyone know if tums, rolaids, peptomismal ect are no-no's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Also acid reduction (Tums & PPI's) could affect Intrinsic Factor production hence decrease B12 absorption. Margarita J.

From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Abbe Breiter-FinebergSent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 11:26 AM Subject: Re: Tums Grace, Tums is not a good source of calcium for anyone. Tums is taken to reduce acid but acid is needed to absorb calcium so when you take tums, its not possible to absorb much of the calcium. Other sources of calcium carbonate are okay. abbe Tums Hello,Our bariatric coordinator insists the AGB patients use Tums for every day calcium supplemention. Depsite the fact that the carbonate form may cause constipation; is there any other reason why Tums would not be a good choice for using daily in the AGB patient?
