Reviews for Calcium carbonate

Alka-Seltzer Fruit Chews (Antacid) (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion: "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."
