Is there any antacid tablets that do not contain talc? Would like to use for stomach ulcer pain relief.

Question

pretty sure I have a stomach ulcer of some kind, this pain has been bothering me for quite some time, I recently read an article that advised me to try some antacid pills that would help stop the pain by calming stomach acids, tried 2 tablets and the pain went away, I just noticed on these TUMS that it contains talc, which I have heard is not good to consume. Ive been trying to cut down on all these insane chemicals in our everyday life and was wondering if anyone knows of any stomach acid relief techniques or and antacid tablets that do not contain talc. thank you

Answer 1

All those pills like TUMS have talc but if you go to the health food store they have supplements that are great and don't have the same chemical substances. There is one in particular that is good for indigestion and heartburn that might help you. I can't recall the name but there will be a knowledgeable staff there that can lead you in the right direction.  

Answer 2

I would try all natural Alfalfa Complex.  Alfalfa increases one's alkaline reserves and helps to offset the enervating effect of fatigue.  It contains 130 units of alkaline.  This alkaline nature makes, makes the use of anti-acid tablets for digestion unnecessary.

It also contains Vitamin U which studies have shown to be an aid for peptic ulcers, sometimes even curing them.
