Hopefully we can figure this out!
I take tums because it's just calcium..regular medicines tend to upset my stomach. I have never tried pepto, but am trying to stay away from supplements. I feel like it's more of a prevention thing. It's really important to watch what you eat and stay away from fatty and greasy foods. Since you have the constipation try eating sourdough and french breads. I suggest taking an easily digestible vitamin.. I'm looking for one myself. Soft kinds or liquid work best. 
Just be careful about what you eat. Stay away from things like a big steak or ranch dressing. There are a lot of sites that list "trigger foods". I suggest keeping a food journal (I know it sucks), but then maybe you can track what bothers you and what doesn't.
