Indigestion tablets that contain calcium (like Tums) are ANTACIDS, which are also LAXATIVES. It's not the calcium in them that causes D - it's the fact that, as antacids, they have a laxative property.
Conversely, calcium, the mineral by itself (or, as it should always be taken, with Vitamin D to help absorption), has a slightly constipating effect, which means that it can be helpful for D.
Hope that clears things up
