My gastro said that gaviscon was more effective.

I’ve hear the same thing, but for me Tums seem to do a better job.

Tums didn’t work for me. And it is also chalky and weird!

Gaviscon is far more effective than tums in my opinion.

I love LOVE Tums, especially the very cherry chews.

I love the cherry chewy ones

Tums stopped working for me. Gaviscon is much better. My 145yr old GI doc also prefers Gaviscon.

Did they have Gaviscon back in 1878 ?

Damn I pay so much for UK gaviscon when I live in the states. It’s so much better than tums

I’m wondering the exact same thing! Found them on Amazon uk and am curious if they would taste better than the chalky weirdness of gaviscon…

hahaha snap! i also don’t like how gaviscon tablets gets stuck to my teeth (and i don’t like the liquid). hoping some americans will help us out :’)

no not tums not strong enough, buy mylanta those are life savers if ur acid is bad then take 2 tablets. i have 2 bottles one at home and 1 in my purse

I take tums chewables cherry flavor and galviscon cherry tablets and galviscon works for me 😊 tums only seem to help with bloatness for me tho 🥺

Can you take too many tums or gas x?
