A member asked:
Are there any supplements i can take that will aid in reducing stomach acid? i cant tolerate any of the acid reducing/ppi medications.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tums (calcium carbonate): Will help mitigate stomach avid. It is calcium carbonate which if used too much can cause high calcium levels in the blood however. Only take routinely under the supervision of a doctor.
