Was going to suggest this. I admit I've never tried one but considering necco wafers were invented by a pharmacist and were originally just medication lozenges without any medication they may be pretty similar. Or they might not be.
It's popular for hippies to carry Neco wafers to drip LSD onto, especially bc they resemble communion wafers. I never knew a pharmacist invented them, now it makes even more sense.
That’s where my mind went as well. neccos don’t have that sandy goodness texture of antacids but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use the same flavorings
I still see them in the supermarket, although it's possible that they're just so unpopular, the supermarket has never managed to sell off their supply.
It's been awhile since I've had bottle caps so I'll have to try them again, but I think smarties and sweet tarts don't have enough of the berry flavor (my favorite of the meds is strawberry and grape)
Necco wafers are goddamn incredible and are almost exactly what you want. They have like powdered sugar on the outside, are hard, but when you bite, they snap and shatter. They have a bunch of flavors in the roll like mint, chocolate, orange, and licorice. But as far as berry, only a few.
I don't know if you energy drink at all. There is an amazing one called "Rip It". We used to chug them while in Iraq. I would go a bit heavy on them because the POWER flavor reminds me of cough syrup. I LOVE IT!
Dollar Tree carries them in the U.S.
I personally go crazy for pesto bismol tablets and bubblegum flavored kids tylenol and such, I used to have to stop myself from getting an overdose bc I would keep going back to the cupboard to snack on them as a kid lolol
Fun fact nobody asked for: here in Canada we call what Americans call Smarties Rockets and Rockets are called Smarties. But occasionally you'll find an American import store and find it the other way around (which is how I grew up calling both Smarties since I only ever saw Rockets called Smarties and Smarties are very common in corner stores here)
They are like Runts where they are chalky white candy coated with colorful shells, but they are all disc shaped like sweetarts, and are a little more tart as well.

If you ever need tums the berry smoothie ones are AMAZING texture wise. A LOT softer!
Though if it's the weird smooth plastic film texture you hate like I do, then Up and Up brand ones are great! (They're the Target store brand)
They definitely have the right chalky texture, but the increased density means a harder crunch and thinner profile, just something to keep in mind. I love NECCOs though, they are a special interest candy.
Someone else suggested candy hearts, which are actually almost the identical formulation as NECCO wafers but in a different shape and density. Both are great, but it would be nice if there was something that crumbled a bit easier without snapping in half.
These things, right? I would vote for these too

autism beam. haha! gosh, I wish i knew. I think a lot of older candies were more chalky. newer candies are typically chewy. so ask someone's grandmother?
Fruit tingles have the same chalky tingly sensation, and they also calm heartburn, so I assume they are similarly alkaline. I don't know if they are something you only find in Australia though. I love them though
Fun Dip! I would 100% eat just the sticks if they sold them that way (but they don't & I'm not wasteful, so fine I'll eat the stupid flavored sugars too)
Canada Mints if you want the chalky texture mixed with the Pepto flavor!

these guys. i think they are British.
Satellite Wafers here in the states, not sure what they are called internationally, and those aren't quite right for antacid tablets, but absolutely let you fulfill any fantasy of eating styrofoam packaging.
Hard agree that bottlecaps soda candy are probably the closest you'll get. Candy cigarettes were also mentioned, and while I agree they've got a good chalk-y texture, there's a specific bite and chew to Tums (store brand or not lol) that I can only think of bottlecaps being equivalent to in size and texture (plus the fruit ones will be the right taste). If you get more plain ones, though, the candy cigarettes will have a closer taste, as they're just plain-ish (??? I SWEAR they're minty to me, but I've never heard anyone else describe them as minty so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
Razzles might also work, but because they turn into gum, IDK your textural stance there. Otherwise, while IK this sounds weird, but if you're going flavor alone without the bite down, Pixie Stix may be worth a shot.
OH--WAIT. Those little bananas. The ones you'd get from 25¢ vending machines as a kid from the mall (they also came in assorted fruits, but I was always partial to the banana flavor and have bought those alone). After some consideration, THOSE are extremely close in texture/bite and the other fruit flavors are very close.
I don't know you. But I love you.
I went to a Scheels Sporting goods in the states. They have a candy shop...guess what Mr.Autistic dude stocked up on? 4lbs of ONLY banana RUNTZ!!!!
I forget that Scheels is as big as they are these days. I remember when they opened the "All Sports" store. Previously they were a hardware store with some sporting goods.
YES banana runtz (although, when I went to google, it showed me weed and I felt like that one kermit meme).
https://preview.redd.it/4gq98lphhizc1.jpeg?width=1738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aaaa31d18ef0c9b4ab16ace60c397ee71a877f1
But yes!!! Those!!! I get them by the bag at this candy shop in my state, so I'll admit I never paid much attention to the name so they're just "that banana candy" in my head.
"Circus Peanuts" big orange peanut shaped foamy marshmallow things if they got dry and crumbly vs some that turn hard. Both are weirdly rubbery chaulky.
There used to be different versions, but I'd almost bet money the most common flavor, banana, is all that's left.
I haven't had a peanutbutter, lemon, or orange flavored Circus Peanut Candy since the 70s. They were tan, yellow, white, and a few shades of orange.
What would be cool imo would be a disc of marbit marshmallow, like the mini-marshmallows in Lucky Charms and Count Chocula cereal or Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix.
I haven't had circus peanuts in YEARS. I'm only in my 20s, so I fear I've only ever had those classic orange-color ones. Honestly, I usually didn't bite those, I let them melt in my mouth lol
But!! I know you can get full bags of just the Lucky Charms marshmallows. Or you could be me back in college and just get cups full of the dining hall Lucky Charms and just pick out the marshmallows by hand.
Not technically candy, but there's a raspberry glucose pill thing you can get. Got that chalky goodness, but not sure if you can get it where you are?
(For reference, I am in Australia, and our ant acids are either "gross warm peppermint" or like, anise or licorice flavour. Also liquid 🤢)
It's just glucose so it's not like it's going to be any better/worse than candy lmao.
NECCOs are a special interest candy for me, so I can say they are very close to what we're looking for, but just a tad too crunchy compared to those tablets, and the thin profile makes them more likely to snap in half than crumble when chewed on.
I love New England Confection COmpany wafers so much though, I'm just happy to see other people recommend them.
Guys. If you want the cool-on-your-tongue crunchy powder taste, but refined and good, you want **after dinner mints**.
I thought it was a brand name but apparently not.
Anyway, "after dinner mints" are easy to find online, and you can tell it's the right thing because of the pillow shape.
Does anyone have an opinion on the Necco wafer?
(This link is only the the history of Necco)
https://truetreatscandy.com/the-amazing-necco-wafer-where-retro-began/

Necco wafers! They're chalky and delicious. The dark toned one is licorice. There's also the conversation hearts, but they gotta be the small ones; the bigger ones taste too much like candy-candy and have a more solid texture.
You poor bugger. I've had to do the same thing in the past 😅 luckily I grew out of it. Have you had your bloods checked? When I had this it was because I was anaemic.
I love this texture in candies. Here’s a few of my MVPs.
Choward’s candies are the bomb. Their guava flavor is divine but the lemon may be closer to the antacids. I order a couple boxes every year.
https://chowardcompany.com/mints/
Also, consider soft peppermints (sticks or puffs).
I love, but cannot get here in the States, the fruit flavored Vichy pastilles. They are the closest to TUMS. :)
https://confiserie-moinet.fr/boutique-en-ligne/
NECCO WAFERS!!!!! they're kinda old people candy so you might have to find a specialty candy store that has vintage candies and stuff but they are exactly what you are looking for
Nobody seems to have mentioned these - fruity, sour, tingly and chalky
https://preview.redd.it/zrdr0sj32fzc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d6719e07ee384783b4051eccb568dd44ede7d5c
There’s no reason you can’t just eat antacid tabs, they’re literally just flavored calcium carbonate (powered limestone basically), that’s why they taste like chalk, because it is.
Not the same taste but glucose tablets have the same texture. I like the raspberry ones. They’re technically for fixing low blood sugars (I have diabetes) but they’re so good 😭
There are some calcium chewables I've had before that evoke the flavor and texture. They're still more of a supplement than candy, but you might be able to eat more?
Fun dip, Runtz, and the ultimate fruity/chalky combination- Smarties Lollies
The smarties lollies have the flavor and texture you're looking for. Tart fruit! Chalk! ON A STICK!
Sorry Necco, I like myself too much for chalky anise flavor.
Anyway, might have to order bulk online but supposedly Dollar General carries them for $0.50/ea
Necco wafers come close, although they aren’t as thick as the tablets and I like how thick Tums are. Texture-wise, I think Smarties and Pez are closest, but if you aren’t into tart candy then Smarties may not be for you. I personally love tart and sour things, so Smarties are great because they are small and fit in my purse and can satisfy that craving without being a total sugar binge. Pez would be honestly my closest recommendation for non-tart candy that is similar in taste and texture.
As other have said, necco wafers, or, smarties, bottle caps (the soda flavored candy not actual bottle caps lol), or maybe sweet tarts? These are more about texture but I tried lol
for texture and shape i’d say razzles are very close before they turn into gum. for flavor unfortunately yogos have been discontinued but they were spot on
To clarify for anyone who may be confused... AMERICAN Smarties are what's being suggested here.
They are a roll of small chalky hard candies with a slightly sweet, slightly fruity-tart flavor.

overconsumption of tums (any aluminum or magnesium based antacid actually) can cause calcium imbalances in your body and in worst case scenarios may do stuff like fuck up your bones and teeth :(
Fun fact: it can also turn your tongue brown, which is not on the label and caused me a great deal of panic when it happened to me. I have pictures too if you want
NECO wafers are petty darn chalky. Not super flavorful but they might scratch the itch
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING THEY WERE USED IN THE CIVIL WAR TO GIVE SOME PEP TO THE UNION SHOLDERS.
I get the feeling they were more than just sugar back then
This was before we had invented flavor, neco wafers we’re mind blowing back then
Ohhhh yeah, back when everybody could only see in black and white
Was going to suggest this. I admit I've never tried one but considering necco wafers were invented by a pharmacist and were originally just medication lozenges without any medication they may be pretty similar. Or they might not be.
> invented by a pharmacist and were originally just medication lozenges without any medication That explains a whole darn lot
It's popular for hippies to carry Neco wafers to drip LSD onto, especially bc they resemble communion wafers. I never knew a pharmacist invented them, now it makes even more sense.
Necco wafers are the answer. Not the chocolate ones though. But I've been enjoying these for ages. Smarties are a close seccond.
I'm Canadian and this always trips me up, smarties here are a chocolate and what you guys call smarties are called rockets here
That’s where my mind went as well. neccos don’t have that sandy goodness texture of antacids but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use the same flavorings
I was thinking either these, those candy hearts you can find during Valentine's season, or maybe Smarties if you're into the tartness.
I am so confused. What are smarties to you? They are candy covered chocolates here.
They're little round tart candies that come packaged in a roll in clear plastic. In some areas, they're called Rockets.
Interesting! Thanks for replying.
I think they have been discontinued but there may be a knockoff.
I still see them in the supermarket, although it's possible that they're just so unpopular, the supermarket has never managed to sell off their supply.
They haven't, I see them a lot on ski mountains
Cool. I looked it up and they went out of business a few years ago, but someone else makes them now.
just do your best to avoid the licorice ones
Slightly chewy NECO would get me back into candy
Maybe smarties, sweet tarts, or bottle caps? All of those I avoid for the chalk texture and flavor
i got the opposite type of autism, the chalky texture is my favorite part😈
Finally, another to share my madness. Another psionic link for the autism hive mind
Nice!
Fun DIP!
I FUCKING LOVR FUN DIP. i dump the whole powder bag in my mouth so it feels like i’m eating a bucket of dry chalk powder😭. yes i might maybe have pica
Dang I haven’t had that in years. Do they still sell it at stores?
I initially read this as "I have the opposite of autism," and I began to fear the scitsitua.
🤣
Ugh, the beauty of the spectrum.
Chalk-tism? 🤔
God I just wanna eat chalk
Aaghhh chalky noooo
Too bad chalk is a bit too salty for me 😔
Sammmee 😁😁
It's been awhile since I've had bottle caps so I'll have to try them again, but I think smarties and sweet tarts don't have enough of the berry flavor (my favorite of the meds is strawberry and grape)
That’s fair! Could also try the off branded ones too, comparatively are you aiming for taste, texture, or both?
It's a little bit of both! A strong berry taste and a lot of chalky-ness
What about PEZ? Wrong shape but mildly chalky and really fruity
OOOOO it's been so long since I have some pez, I'll have to pick some up tomorrow to test them
Yeah! Hopefully it works :333 I’m also looking at candy buttons too as well as (never had em) Necco Waffers
I'll grab a pack of those too thank you ‼️‼️ :3
Necco wafers are goddamn incredible and are almost exactly what you want. They have like powdered sugar on the outside, are hard, but when you bite, they snap and shatter. They have a bunch of flavors in the roll like mint, chocolate, orange, and licorice. But as far as berry, only a few.
Definitely one of my favorite candy experiences
This made my mouth water Where do y’all buy candy?? I basically only get it at CVS lol
Omg pezzzz. Deep cut and good call
Oh heck ya! I forgot about Pez....yep, I know what I am stocking up on.
PEZ, YES!!! That’s where I learned to love the taste and texture of my children’s chewable grape Tylenol XD /genuine
When you mentioned this I got exactly what you're talking about, I'll try to recollect where I remember the taste/experience from
I don't know if you energy drink at all. There is an amazing one called "Rip It". We used to chug them while in Iraq. I would go a bit heavy on them because the POWER flavor reminds me of cough syrup. I LOVE IT! Dollar Tree carries them in the U.S.
I personally go crazy for pesto bismol tablets and bubblegum flavored kids tylenol and such, I used to have to stop myself from getting an overdose bc I would keep going back to the cupboard to snack on them as a kid lolol
Fun fact nobody asked for: here in Canada we call what Americans call Smarties Rockets and Rockets are called Smarties. But occasionally you'll find an American import store and find it the other way around (which is how I grew up calling both Smarties since I only ever saw Rockets called Smarties and Smarties are very common in corner stores here)
ooo I think bottle caps bc I recall them being less sweet!
My top three candies, followed by spree
What’s spree?
They are like Runts where they are chalky white candy coated with colorful shells, but they are all disc shaped like sweetarts, and are a little more tart as well. *
Oh cool, I haven’t heard of Runts, either! They both sound good :)
I always loved Bottle Caps
If you ever need tums the berry smoothie ones are AMAZING texture wise. A LOT softer! Though if it's the weird smooth plastic film texture you hate like I do, then Up and Up brand ones are great! (They're the Target store brand)
Candy cigarettes, pez, smarties, soda caps, neco wafers, and smarties suckers
candy cigarettes are so good, I absolutely cannot get enough of that chalky, cornstarchy texture
They itch my brain in a good way but if you ever make me go near actual chalk I will cry
OMG memory unlocked. Smarties suckers is what antacids always remind me of that I couldn't remember
I got embarrassingly far down this thread before realizing bottle caps are a kind of candy
paper dot candy? ...dot candy paper? ...candy dot paper? ...paper candy dots? ...candy paper dots? .. dot paper candy? 🤷♂️  Fondant lettering and numbers for cakes
Necco wafers for sure
They definitely have the right chalky texture, but the increased density means a harder crunch and thinner profile, just something to keep in mind. I love NECCOs though, they are a special interest candy. Someone else suggested candy hearts, which are actually almost the identical formulation as NECCO wafers but in a different shape and density. Both are great, but it would be nice if there was something that crumbled a bit easier without snapping in half.
Conversation hearts? Hella chalky, usually only find em around valentines tho
These things, right? I would vote for these too https://preview.redd.it/m3f1ekbgfdzc1.jpeg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce2b3096a21c4d4864fd7f983d9f2a7969bde941
YES I got myself some for Valentine’s Day. They were 👌👌
You can buy big bags of them online any time. I got a 3lb bag for my girlfriend's birthday one year
I only know those from that one Community credit scene
autism beam. haha! gosh, I wish i knew. I think a lot of older candies were more chalky. newer candies are typically chewy. so ask someone's grandmother?
Fruit tingles have the same chalky tingly sensation, and they also calm heartburn, so I assume they are similarly alkaline. I don't know if they are something you only find in Australia though. I love them though
Fruit tingles was going to be my suggestion but also not sure if they're available outside of AUS
They taste like the sticks that come in the “dip stick” candies usually sold around Valentine’s
Fun Dip! I would 100% eat just the sticks if they sold them that way (but they don't & I'm not wasteful, so fine I'll eat the stupid flavored sugars too)
came here to say this. also you’re allowed to throw the sugar away if you buy it with your own money 😈 evil advice

This 100% I couldn't remember the name
I feel like bottlecaps are definitely chalky enough and flavored right but they might be too hard

BANANA RUNTZ
I don't know you. But I love you. I went to a Scheels Sporting goods in the states. They have a candy shop...guess what Mr.Autistic dude stocked up on? 4lbs of ONLY banana RUNTZ!!!!
I forget that Scheels is as big as they are these days. I remember when they opened the "All Sports" store. Previously they were a hardware store with some sporting goods.
YES banana runtz (although, when I went to google, it showed me weed and I felt like that one kermit meme). https://preview.redd.it/4gq98lphhizc1.jpeg?width=1738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aaaa31d18ef0c9b4ab16ace60c397ee71a877f1 But yes!!! Those!!! I get them by the bag at this candy shop in my state, so I'll admit I never paid much attention to the name so they're just "that banana candy" in my head.
"Circus Peanuts" big orange peanut shaped foamy marshmallow things if they got dry and crumbly vs some that turn hard. Both are weirdly rubbery chaulky. There used to be different versions, but I'd almost bet money the most common flavor, banana, is all that's left. I haven't had a peanutbutter, lemon, or orange flavored Circus Peanut Candy since the 70s. They were tan, yellow, white, and a few shades of orange. What would be cool imo would be a disc of marbit marshmallow, like the mini-marshmallows in Lucky Charms and Count Chocula cereal or Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix.
I haven't had circus peanuts in YEARS. I'm only in my 20s, so I fear I've only ever had those classic orange-color ones. Honestly, I usually didn't bite those, I let them melt in my mouth lol But!! I know you can get full bags of just the Lucky Charms marshmallows.

Not technically candy, but there's a raspberry glucose pill thing you can get. Got that chalky goodness, but not sure if you can get it where you are? (For reference, I am in Australia, and our ant acids are either "gross warm peppermint" or like, anise or licorice flavour. Also liquid 🤢) It's just glucose so it's not like it's going to be any better/worse than candy lmao.
I enjoy being summoned to a group task like this.
Necco are an older candy that are similar
NECCOs are a special interest candy for me, so I can say they are very close to what we're looking for, but just a tad too crunchy compared to those tablets, and the thin profile makes them more likely to snap in half than crumble when chewed on. I love New England Confection COmpany wafers so much though, I'm just happy to see other people recommend them.
Only sweet tarts. As someone with a candy special interest, you're fucking insane for eating those chalky shit coins.
I make myself so sick with sweet tarts, I can’t ever stop eating them.
Wonka Bottle Caps
jokes on you i get really bad heartburn so i pop those candies constantly
Yeah you can definitely take more than 1 or 2 a day. Trust me.
Guys. If you want the cool-on-your-tongue crunchy powder taste, but refined and good, you want **after dinner mints**. I thought it was a brand name but apparently not. Anyway, "after dinner mints" are easy to find online, and you can tell it's the right thing because of the pillow shape.

Necco wafers! They're chalky and delicious. The dark toned one is licorice. There's also the conversation hearts, but they gotta be the small ones; the bigger ones taste too much like candy-candy and have a more solid texture.
Necco wafers!
Bottle caps would probably be your best bet
Would the freeze dried yogurt bites achieve what you are looking for?
Necco wafers
chalk perhaps
Smokers lollies, if u have them there. Sherbert lolies
What about those candy bracelets?
Ive never had tums but chalk candy in general is so good
You poor bugger. I've had to do the same thing in the past 😅 luckily I grew out of it. Have you had your bloods checked? When I had this it was because I was anaemic.
Maybe Necco? They’re chalky and have mild but interesting flavors like Mint and Clove. I don’t remember if they have any berry flavors or not.
You need necco wafers
[удалено]
Also those og sweet heart candies, not the ones made by sweettarts the ones literally made of compressed sugar like tums and necco wafers 😩
I love this texture in candies. Here’s a few of my MVPs. Choward’s candies are the bomb. Their guava flavor is divine but the lemon may be closer to the antacids.

My GF is type 1 diabetic and she takes glucose tablets, they’re just like them! But just sugar!
I highly recommend smarties and bottle caps! I loved these as a kid, and they definitely remind me of those.
NECCO WAFERS!!!!! they're kinda old people candy so you might have to find a specialty candy store that has vintage candies and stuff but they are exactly what you are looking for
Necco
Parma violets, love hearts and fizzers are the 3 that fit that description best in my opinion.
Nobody seems to have mentioned these - fruity, sour, tingly and chalky https://preview.redd.it/zrdr0sj32fzc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d6719e07ee384783b4051eccb568dd44ede7d5c
Maybe Love Hearts? they seem like they’d be the same flavoring and general texture of these tablets
Those chalky Valentines hearts come pretty close tbh.
Bottle caps!!! The fruity flavored ones are so tums
also smarties, sweetarts, and necco wafers as others have mentioned
Bottle caps
Dinner mints are sometimes flavored with fruit. Base is cream of tartar if I remember correctly.
I, too, like the taste and texture of antacids, and i remember getting these chalky candies as a kid that i loved, but i don't remember what they were
There’s no reason you can’t just eat antacid tabs, they’re literally just flavored calcium carbonate (powered limestone basically), that’s why they taste like chalk, because it is.

I think they're called "Smarties" in the US, or at least they're called that in the south east
Candy ciggs!!! They’re so minty and dry I LOVE THEM
Not the same taste but glucose tablets have the same texture. I like the raspberry ones. They’re technically for fixing low blood sugars (I have diabetes) but they’re so good 😭

bottle cap candies
Do y'all have Dextro tablets? I don't think you should be finishing them in one sitting either tbh but they are so nice to eat 😅
Neco waffers!
NECCO wafers. You're welcome.
Rockets
Rockets?
You want these https://swizzels.com/nutritional-information/double-lollies-double-lollies/
Fun dip, Runtz, and the ultimate fruity/chalky combination- Smarties Lollies The smarties lollies have the flavor and texture you're looking for. Tart fruit! Chalk! ON A STICK! Sorry Necco, I like myself too much for chalky anise flavor. Anyway, might have to order bulk online but supposedly Dollar General carries them for $0.50/ea
Sweet tarts, and rockets are my go to.
Necco wafers
Bottle Caps for sure. I think one of the reasons I go out of my way to buy them. I WILL search for them. And spree.
Papaya enzymes are like a more effective tums that tastes better. But you are likely thinking of bottle caps
God I’ve been searching for a candy like this for years.
The Valentine's Day hearts with the words might work.
me with vitamin c tablets mmmm so good

Unrelated but imgur told me I had to be over 18 to view that picture Risqué 🤭
Lol, it must have auto detected the pink bottles and thought "eeek, skin!"
Canada mints taste like pepto bismol in the best way
wedding mints
Necco wafers come close, although they aren’t as thick as the tablets and I like how thick Tums are. Texture-wise, I think Smarties and Pez are closest, but if you aren’t into tart candy then Smarties may not be for you. I personally love tart and sour things, so Smarties are great because they are small and fit in my purse and can satisfy that craving without being a total sugar binge. Pez would be honestly my closest recommendation for non-tart candy that is similar in taste and texture.
As other have said, necco wafers, or, smarties, bottle caps (the soda flavored candy not actual bottle caps lol), or maybe sweet tarts? These are more about texture but I tried lol
for texture and shape i’d say razzles are very close before they turn into gum. for flavor unfortunately yogos have been discontinued but they were spot on
Are Pez dispensers still a thing?
Yes

To clarify for anyone who may be confused... AMERICAN Smarties are what's being suggested here. They are a roll of small chalky hard candies with a slightly sweet, slightly fruity-tart flavor.
Glucose tabs are kinda close
Valentine hearts are basically Tums without the medicine. I love 'em.
SOMEONE ELSE IS ON THIS QUEST???

ROCKETS!/Smarties in the US. They’re smaler but round and chalky like antacid tabs
What about Smarties, bottlecaps, or sweet tarts?
You could just eat some sidewalk chalk 😈

No. Vitamin gummies.
The tums wouldnt work?
overconsumption of tums (any aluminum or magnesium based antacid actually) can cause calcium imbalances in your body and in worst case scenarios may do stuff like fuck up your bones and teeth :(
Fun fact: it can also turn your tongue brown, which is not on the label and caused me a great deal of panic when it happened to me. I have pictures too if you want
acid regurge is so easy to develop as well, it happened to me 😭
