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."
Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) for Stomach Ulcer "Tums worked great for me. When I take it I immediately feel better. It lasts for a long time too."
Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "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!"
Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) for GERD "Doesn't work."
Tums Smoothies (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "It gave me cancer"
Calci-Chew (calcium carbonate) for Osteoporosis "Tastes great."
Calcium Liquid Softgel (calcium carbonate) for Osteoporosis "Spring Valley's liquid filled calcium (600 mg) with Vitamin D is a very long (1 inch), large softgel. I have problems swallowing these softgels."
Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "It works fine on simple heartburns but not on complicated ones."
For GERD "Worst antacid ever, the crazy flavors actually feel like they add to the problem. You'd be better off chewing charcoal... waste of $"
Tums Regular Strength (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "It’s made my stomach worse and I’ve thrown up due to it."
Titralac (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "I do not like to chew sweet pills; so these are perfect to swallow. Works very fast to relieve indigestion."
Alka-Seltzer Fruit Chews (Antacid) (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "Very convenient & easy to use. Always take it with me. Effective on acid reflux episodes. Taste like candy...watch out for overdosing."
Calcium Liquid Softgel (calcium carbonate) for Hypocalcemia "I love these because my nails grow and are strong. The other forms of calcium don't do that."
Titralac (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "Best fast acting tasty stuff ever"
Tums Ultra 1000 (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "Works great for me!"
Tums Chewy Bites (calcium carbonate) for GERD "I tried the cooling sensation Tums Chewy Bites and my heartburn is worse than before taking them. DO NOT get the cooling sensation kind. It is awful."
Tums Ultra 1000 (calcium carbonate) for GERD "They are great for immediate relief"
Tums Chewy Bites (calcium carbonate) for GERD "they work fine and work almost instantly for me I take them"
For GERD "There are other things which have worked better for me."
Alka-Mints (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "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."
Alka-Seltzer Fruit Chews (Antacid) (calcium carbonate) for Indigestion "Works great, totally taste great. Able to side track need for sweetie-treat after dinner meal. {no more than 2}. Thanks Alke-S."

For Osteopenia "El Carbonato de Calcio me produce estreñimiento y molestias gastrointestinales. Por otro lado, en la mayoría de las marcas, las tabletas son demasiado grandes y ásperas. Muy difícil de tragar. Prefiero el Citrato de Calcio que se absorbe más rápido, no produce estreñimiento y las tabletas vienen recubiertas. Fáciles de tomar. Uso la marca Citralgel que viene también con Vitamina D Calcium Carbonate causes constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort. On the other hand, in most brands, the tablets are too large and rough. Very hard to swallow. I prefer Calcium Citrate that is absorbed faster, does not produce constipation and the tablets are coated. Easy to drink I use the Citralgel brand that also comes with Vitamin D"
