Can Tums cause very pale yellow poop?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi all,

I took Tums for three days in a row 2000mg then i made poop in the morning it was normal colored. an hour later i made poop again and it was very light pale yellow colored. Could this be from Tums? i occasionally have yellow poop but never this light and the weird part is it was right after having a normal brown poop. Any help would be great.

    Yes , its the calcium in the Tums. The more Tums you consume the more you will get this effect. Not harmful but dont take more than the recommended dose of Tums.
