I have been meaning to write this, but I've been too busy working, but here is something that I wanted to get some opinions on. The use of calcium carbonate as a calium supplement. I believe that continual use of calcium carbonate can have a negative impact on digestion
(link here) Also There is belief that shutting down stomach acid and stomach acid secretion with medications such as this cause ulcers and food allergies as described here over time due to foods being partially digested. Then the undigested food sits in the stomach and collects bacteria. The bacteria growth eats away stomach lining. Then the undigested food ferments in the stomach as described below:

It may be a good idea to switch to taking calium citrate 3 times a day and not taking calcium carbonate as calcium citrate doesn't neutralize stomach acid. Calcium citrate renders less elemental calium thus probably should be taken 3 times a day. Do people here think it may be a good idea to drink orange juice (any juice will for that matter) forticied with ascorbic acid , betain hydrocloride w/pepsin and even some cider vinegar tabs just to decrease stomac ph with a meal?
