Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query about your son, albeit short.
To recapitulate: Male/33 - known diabetic - little overweight - complaints about stomach cramps felt like gas but antacid/tums did not help ...
Tums is antacid and hence it will help only to neutralize acid if that is the cause of pains - cramps is usually due to intestinal infection and not due to increased acidity., he also have gases.
Please give additional information:
Any other symptoms like loose stools, constipation, bloating, nausea, vomiting?
Any urinary symptoms?
