Stomach Ache: Without knowing all of the history, it's difficult to try to know for sure what's going on. However, it is highly unlikely that Tums, which is really just calcium carbonate (aka chalk) is the culprit. It's now 7 hours since you posted your question so if this is still going on, I recommend that you seek the on site medical care of your personal doctor, urgent care, or an ER.
