Is This bad???

Okay I have 2 new addicitions, some may think it is strange but I just cant stop chunking down a few extra Gas x chewables everday. I use between 10 and 16 per day, when I get home at night and get relaxed watch out, it removes all the gas that I have stored for the day. Is this harmful? I hd a nurse practioner at work tell me it was okay to have another few if it didnt work the first time. I dont think she intended for me to go overboard so I will ask her the same thing but I sure am curious. It started when I began haveing a tightness in my chest and shoulder that I thought was gas. I alternate between tropical fruit Tums and gas X and I must be absorbing the calcium from the Tums cuz my stools are clay colored. I just want to be sure Im not being suicidal over gas x and Tums. I feel fine, just have these 2 addicitions, what gives? Id hate for my headstone to read "OD'd on Gas X and Tums, live and learn"

Elspeth, I don't know...I've never heard of anyone using that much on a daily basis. Is the tightness still present? Perhaps cut back two a day for a couple of days and see if the tightness returns. I'm not sure if that amount would do any harm or not. lol...you know, its possible, you may just enjoy the flavors! Becky

I do know it is the taste I am going for, I just happen to like em, but since I dont know what the long term effect might be, I have cut back on them and will just have to learn to live with it. It has stopped all the tightness in my chest tho, so I can only assume it was gas builing up , which I heard it would go into your shoulders, never thought it would happen but it has. Thanks! Elpeth!
