Sorry, your husband is correct. In general, "indigestion" are usually caused by an overproduction of stomach acid. Calcium is one of the most potent stimulators of gastric acid secretion. For this reason, choose always antacids, which is not based on calcium (calcium is Tums Maalox is not). The old story of women drink milk or whey for dyspepsia (indigestion our point of view) comes from the milk in a layer usually temporarily relieve pain and ulcers. If your husband that you take indigestion funds for more than 2 or 3 times a week benefit, talk to your doctor for further investigation. Hope this helps.
