No! TUMS are good BUT Rolaids dissolve easier and are quicker to neutralize acid. ***Personally neither of them are the best to me. They both have calcium. Too much calcium ends up causing acid reflux, which means you have to pop another tums or rolaids again. I think Gingera is the best antacid. Why? because it's all natural. It's effervescent and all you need to do is take it once for your indigestion or nausea to vanish.
