  Betty, by coincidence I was going to refer you to the same website as Grandmas House. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. No calcium. Many people swear by it but it’s best saved for the bathtub.
  
  Tums are calcium carbonate which may be absorbed in slightly acidic soil.
  
  If your tomato plant is in a pot it is hard to regulate the water in the soil. Blossom end rot can come from irregular watering.
  
  It’s hard to get to the store with Covid everywhere but you can order plant food on line.
  
  Good luck with the tomatoes.

You can use powdered milk mixed with water for a quick boost. I usually plant with a calcium tablet, perhaps grinding and dissolving in some water will work, as well. Epsom salt does not contain any calcium. End rot is a calcium deficiency.
