A member asked:
Why is it that after eating an antacid tablet, your stomach can hurt and feel some discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abdominal discomfort: It is unusual for over-the-counter antacids to cause abdominal pain. It would probably be more likely that the discomfort is baseline pain, which caused you to take the antacid in the first place, and that the antacid was just not successful in treating it. If your symptoms persist, you should see your doctor.
