A member asked:
Can antacid medication like tums (calcium carbonate) damage your stomach if your stomach is not having any high level of acidity in the stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not likely: You would have to take a lot of Tums (calcium carbonate) to cause any problems...And that would be because of the calcium, not the low acid.
