silly question about antacids

[angelawillbethinagain]

I am on induction. Is it gonna effect that if I have rolaids or pepto b?
I look on the fresh mint rolaids and it says flavorings but doesn't specify.
Don't have the bottle of pepto in front of me but wondered for when I get home from work.

My stomach hurts today and I don't feel good. I wondered if it would hurt to take some. There must be some kind of sugars in these right?

Please let me know...

Angela,
this may be too late but.....
looked it up for you:

The Active ingredients are Calcium carbonate (550 mg) and Magnesium hydroxide (110 mg). The inactive ingredients are Dextrose, Flavoring, Magnesium stearate, Polyethylene glycol, Pregelatinized starch, and Sucrose.

Minor side effects may include constipation or stomach cramps. Serious side effects include loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness or headache. (source: http://www.medicinenet.com/calcium_c...ts/article.htm)



Pretty certain sucrose is sugar.
