I am guessing one would need to somehow integrate the bile sequestrant in sodium alginate. Or does anyone know another way that could work with bile sequestrants, some sort of gastric retention mechanism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621317379873499702.post-82991806741965286142018-02-12T16:18:35.435-05:002018-02-12T16:18:35.435-05:00Is there something that could be substituted for t...Is there something that could be substituted for the tums for people with calcium issues?

So, if it's the bicarb that's the active part, I guess that's why sodium bicarbonate is a substitute. Interesting that the Calcium carbonate is not listed as an active ingredient.
