Is your antacid making you tired?

About a month ago I read something on the Internets about antacids causing fatigue because they inhibit the absorption of certain vitamins.

I had been experiencing extreme fatigue after taking my usual morning Pepcid Xtra strength that would get me through a day of heartburn. I hadn't thought of any connection between the pepcid and the fatigue.

I stopped taking the Pepcid. I started a regimen of eating small meals and snacks, and using rolaids as needed. (Not that I was ever a big eater, but I just started eating less.

Guess what. Not only is my heartburn mostly gone, but the fatigue has disappeared. My energy level has zoomed sky high. My state of mind is excellent.

And I still chase two teenagers and a baby nearly walking every day.

Something to think about.
