Does Maalox cause cramping?       11/21/08 06:11 AM Edit Reply Quote CarolynC Reged: 03/11/08 Posts: 108 Loc: Connecticut I've been taking Maalox for a few days to try and help my gas and bloating and sour stomach with heartburn problem. (I also took a Pepcid - regular strength) Now I feel lots of cramping and very loose BM this morning. (I am normally C) I don't feel like eating much of anything because of it. I'm taking two teaspoons-twice a day. This version of Maalox contains: Magnesium Hydroxide 400mg Aluminum hydroxide 400mg Simethicone 40mg It has helped a little bit, but now I'm having cramps and heading towards D. Which is somewhat worse than the sour stomach and/or heart burn. Are there any other suggestions as to what to take? I think Mylanta has very similar ingedients. Note: the cramps are low in my AB. I also have pressure in the upper portion. My whole gut feels tight and swollen. Thanks for any input!
