Can you take tums for nausea?

Will tums make my symptoms worse? I am not prescribed anything for nausea so what medication is safe to take?

  1. Hi , I have not heard of anyone having issues with Tums, but before you start up a new medication, it is usually good to reach out to the doctor and make sure it will work well for you! Sometimes there can be medication interactions, etc, so it's always best to double check. In the meantime, have you tried anything like ginger tea for the nausea? -Eshani (IBD Team Member)

    1. Thank you! I have not tried ginger tea, but I will definitely try it.

      1. Please do let us know how it works for you! I hope you get some relief soon. <3 -Eshani (IBD Team Member)

    2. I haven't had any issues with Tums before. However, for me personally, I use peppermint essential oil by Young Living for nausea. It is my life-saver. -Elizabeth (team member)
