Can Tums Be Taken During Pregnancy?

Hi I was wondering if I am able to take a few tums I have Acid Reflux and am fasting for a diabetes test in the morning I am almost 30 weeks pregnant? I take 2 zantac a day so I can't take one of those for sake of taking over the suggested dose. Thanks for helping! :)
