My sister is a celiac. She is looking for a source of calcium because of
osteopenia. Therefore, I was inquiring about the gf status of Tums, Rolaids,
etc.
Thanks to all the people that responded. This has helped a great deal.
Most responses stated that;
Tums is gf
Sugar Free Tums are not gf
Caltrate Plus is a good medication for this situation
Sodium Free Rolaids is gf
Clad Thompson pocket guide confirms that Tums is gf
CSA|USA does not recommend Tums use, should not use for calcium supplement
Gastroenterologist recommends Tums as best & least expensive form of calcium
If anyone is interested in the specifics of these responses, I have saved
them.
Thanks again,
Ronnie
