antacids yes you certainly can and the one thing i will tell you is it could cause constipation or it could cause diarrhea. so i really want to make sure that patients understand that. they also develop a condition called rebound which means when they get their heartburn it will come back. after taking too many antacids it will come back really more severe than they ever had before. so you want to be tracking what you eat you want to be tracking your episodes and you want to be limiting your intake. typically with an antacid you want to limit its use to about two weeks. if you feel that your symptoms are still there you are going to want to talk to your doctor or healthcare provider for further evaluation.
can i take too many antacids? what are the consequences?
