Re: TUMS for Calcium on LID ???

[Guest guest]

Hi, Annemarie -

You should be ok - quoting below from kabob's post #13072 which

talks about several calcium supplements:

" TUMS does not contain iodine. Even the red-colored tablets use food

colors which are permitted (Red 27 Lake, Red 30 Lake) as opposed to

Red #3, which is not permitted. http://www.tums.com/ "

As always says, this info is as of whenever she collected it,

and ingredients can change - so, if you want to really be sure, call

them at 1- on Monday or check the ingredients label.

Not good ingreients for LID include: Iodine, Red dye #3, anything

ingredients saying soy or lecithin.

Cheers,

Alisa
