Was going to mention them. Rolaids don't work though. I have been told it is because of the high calcium and magnesium in the TUMS.
Sports drinks are okay, however make sure you are drinking enough water. Using only a sports drink can lead to more dehydration, especially if it is high in sugars. I try alternate between a sports drink (i use diluted Endurox) and plain water on long rides.
