so i've eaten 9 antacids this morning.

[MrCoffee]

is that normal?

[qnr]

1. Hmmm I doubt it. However, I don't use them, and it makes me wonder,

is it safe?

[ohiosmith]

2. No. No it is not. By now you should have eaten 14.

[MrCoffee]

3. it's early yet, give me time.

my jaw is all sore from chewing.

[_testify_]

4. Tums/Rolaids type of antacids?

Or Tagament/Pepcid AC?

In any case, my doctor told me that Tagament as needed (sometimes I needed up to 4 at once) regardless of the dose info on the carton was pretty safe.

[MrCoffee]

6. Tums. I have crazy heartburn this morning.

All i had for breakfast was some toast with a little butter. You wouldn't think that toast would come back to haunt me, but it has.

5. check the label

does seems a way bit too much

[malta blue]

7. I was going to ask if you were pregnant

but that would seem a little odd. :blush:

Anyhow, I got raging heartburn when I was pregnant and ate up to 20 tums a day, with my doctor's blessing.

[MrCoffee]

8. MrsCoffee is 8 1/2 months pregnant and drinking mylanta by the gallon

i would claim sympathetic pregnancy, but don't want to get my ass handed to me by the Ladies of DU.

[malta blue]

10. Mylanta - oh them memories

:rofl:

Hope you feel better soon!
:hi:

9. Baking soda and water works much better.

It's instant and keeps working!
Tastes like crap though...

[ThomCat]

11. Um... No.

I hope you aren't working on an ulcer. :hug:

[MrCoffee]

12. I usually just pour coffee on the ulcer to put out the fire...

but today it's staging its own little Tet Offensive down there.

[ThomCat]

13. Be careful with that. Ulcers can be vindictive.

[Silver Swan]

14. Don't mind me, I'm the queen of doom--

That doesn't sound normal to me.

When my spouse experienced unusual heartburn, it was actually unstable angina, and he ended up having a quadruple coronary artery bypass two days later.

[MrCoffee]

15. i just had a check-up last week...all systems normal.
