"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."

"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!"

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

"I can't take many medications. I've been throwing up daily for months. (I have brain lesions) My throat was burning so badly. I sip ice water and still feel as if I have been hit in the stomach. Not to mention my throat and teeth hurt! I take these when things become very painful. They are great. I like the fruity ones. Be careful how many you eat. I was in pain and I must have eaten 12 in a few hours. Days of constipation. While feeling the need to go. I ate too many. I still prefer these over some other simple indigestion/nausea medications. Drink lots of water. Careful, don't overdo it. It made things worse for a bit."
