Re: [RC] silly questions re electrolytes - Heidi Smith



but when Tums hit my stomach they react with the acid

making gas, causing me to burp.  Does it not affect the horses that

way?

It better not...since they can't burp. >g< Personally, I take 2 a day
(for calcium) when I remember to and have no problem myself so don't know
if that's a common reaction.


Hmmm....  Human nutrition is not my bag, but it seems to me that the calcium
in Tums is pretty "bio-un-available" (despite all the TV commercials
featuring women saying, "Hmmm, contains calcium--something my body needs
anyway!")  So I wonder if it is worth the effort to take Tums for the
calcium...

Heidi (who much prefers milk, milk, and more milk anyway, but seems there
are better means than Tums for the non-milk-drinkers out there....)
