First reported in 1923 due to excessive ingestion of milk and bicarbonate for peptic ulcer disease, milk-alkali syndrome nearly disappeared by the 1980s. More recently, however, this syndrome has become a more common cause of hypercalcemia. This increase is likely due to the increased use of calcium carbonate for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Pregnancy likely places women at risk for milk-alkali syndrome due to increased intestinal absorption of calcium. Recommendations for increased oral calcium intake during pregnancy along with frequent use of calcium carbonate for GI symptoms during late pregnancy increase this risk.
