I'm had kidney stones removed within the past year. (I'm 80 years old in excellent health do to tennis 5 times a week).
I always, after eating, develop flatulence. I'm considering taking Gas-X to relieve this condition.
However, reading Gas-X "Other Information" I discovered each tablet contains: calcium 45 mg.
Should I not consider taking Gas-X do to the fact that kidney stones are the result of calcium buildup?
Thank you for your response. Bob Scagliotti
