It should be virtually calorie-free. [It’s sweetened with saccharin sodium and sucralose (aka Splenda)](http://www.pepto-bismol.com/liquid.shtml), and the other ingredients don’t seem to have much nutritional value (if any). ---

Actually, if you’re using it often enough to have to worry about the calories, you should probably see a doctor about your reflux.
