Answer 3

Maalox, Mylanta, Prilosec, Zantac, and prescription antacids like Prevacid all are calcium carbonate free.

Answer 4

Bread soda is an antacid.  Sodium bicarbonate is its technical name if you need to check if it has calcium carbonate or is related to it.

Answer 5

The best way you can circumvent this problem and start using calcium carbonate without its adverse affects is by using two or three doses of Calcium Carbonate in the homeopathic doses say 30 potecy.  Use Calcaria Carb 30 two or three doses and the problem of assimilation or absorption  of calcium carbonate will  be corrected or  removed.  

The above is information and medicines should be used in consultation with doctor.

Try peppermint cordial or suckable mint sweets.

You could go back to your GP and get prescribed something that does not have calcium carbonate in it?

Answer 8

Alfalfa Complex  - The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture states that while the average fruit or vegetable is from one to 10 units of alkaline, alfalfa is 130 units alkaline.  This alkaline nature makes, makes the use of anti-acid tablets for digestion unnecessary.
