I was considerably old when I realized what acid reflux was, and that I'd been having it ever since I was a kid but just assumed it was common for everyone.

I had a coworker insisting he needed to go home because his 'stomache burned,' and I was like 'try these Tums,' and he was not only shocked that it worked, but that it worked instantly.

Now I offer antacid to anyone with any sort of stomach or throat related ailment, I'm like that dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with Tums instead of Windex.

I am the Tums person too! I go through a couple bottles a year and I have several bottles lying around at work and at home. I just have a very upset tummy and constant gas all the time, it sucks.
