Metallic taste is actually listed as a side effect of tums but is not supposed to be common. I get it all the time too
Tums is an antacid, basic.
the characteristics of bases: 1) bases have a bitter taste 2) turn red litmus paper blue 3) don't react with metals..The main characteristics of a base is that it changes the color of the indicators. It is a substance in aqueous solution, slippery to touch and tastes bitter.
The chemical formula for Tums is CaCO3 (mineral calcite).
Both Tums and Rolaids are effective antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Tums contains calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, while Rolaids contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and any specific dietary considerations.
Tums does not contain aluminum. Instead, it primarily contains calcium carbonate as its active ingredient, which is used to relieve heartburn and indigestion. Some antacids, like certain formulations of Maalox or Mylanta, may contain aluminum, but Tums is not one of them. Always check the ingredient label for specific formulations if you have concerns.
"tums" is pH 19 - it needs to be alkalinic. Also, mint is alkalinic and tums had a very definite taste of mint.
not eating, and eating to air like its no tomorrow! (/*.*)/
take 2 tums
Tums taste funny primarily due to their active ingredient, calcium carbonate, which has a chalky flavor. Additionally, the flavorings and sweeteners used to mask this taste can create a unique and sometimes unusual flavor profile. The combination of these factors can result in a taste that some people find off-putting or peculiar.
Take tums, they are safe. I believe they also have tums with gas relief. Also try mint or ginger they work well if you can handle the taste.
You probably have heartburn. Take some Tums or other kind of antacid and it should go away.
