A member asked:
Is tums (calcium carbonate) good to have when you have gerd? what kind of test would a doctor do for a gerd checkup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Use TUMS (calcium carbonate) and see if you feel better. If you do then that is a good test that you have gastro esophageal reflux issues.
