I have quite a number of friends who chew Tums like they're candy.
They wake up, pop a Tums.
Have breakfast - pop another Tums.
Mid-morning .... oohhhh ... burnies .... in goes another Tums.
And so on.
The doctor will say, "Acid Reflux." and prescribe Zantac, Prevacid, Nexium, Pepcid etc., etc.
But will your acid go away? Not likely. And I know why.
