Antacid Recall

January 19, 2010 – 1:27 pm

Antacid Recall
You may have heard about the Tylenol recall. That recall has been expanded to include other products, including Rolaids. Rolaids is an antacid that some heartburn sufferers use to get quick relief of their heartburn symptoms.

Various Johnson & Johnson products are being recalled because of reported moldy or chemical odor, with some individuals being sickened by it (including nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea).

Products recalled include:

Tylenol

Will Milk Help Stop the Heartburn?
Many people believe that drinking a glass of milk will help their heartburn. I can remember my grandmother telling us a glass of warm milk could help us with anything from having problems going to sleep to easing a sour stomach.
