> lol, I probably should have made it clear originally that I was talking about *Tums* as a source of calcium carbonate, not vitamin supplements.
I was trying to link a few different ideas together, as there have been rather lengthy discussions of the solubility of the various magnesium supps, etc.
Actually, I was thinking about Tums when I wrote my bit. I used to use them quite regularly, and there was chalk visible in my stool (proof of poor solubility).
> I mean, they seem to work just as quickly and well as baking soda as antacids, so I guess I'll try taking one of those today with my Dex instead of the bicarb. Thanks for the replies!
Let us know how they compare. I'm curious.
