If TUMS are the same as TUMs in the uk they are an indigestion remedy?? I read somewhere that you shouldn't take these on a regular basis. Might be safer to get hold of a calcium supplement from a pharmacy. I take one with vitamin D3 added as this apparently helps you to absorb the calcium (but I take it because I'm at risk of osteoporosis - so you might not need the D3)Originally Posted by bcipam
