Alka-Seltzer Fruit Chews (Antacid) (calcium carbonate) "I've been taking these every day for months now, (mostly because I don't eat much) and it helps a lot! The only downside to it is I have small bowel issues (to my knowledge at least) and these don't help, but the effects are minor."

Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) "It works well, and very quickly! One or two tabs taken after a cup of coffee helps to avoid acid indigestion. Works for me; cheap, easy to use, safe. Nothing faster!"

Alka-Mints (calcium carbonate) "These Alka-Mints work as well or better than Tums and are easier to breakup by chewing, also I love the spearmint flavor. No one else seems to make spearmint antacids."
