I'll post the references from work tomorrow, but apparently acacia gum powder (what we use for IBS!) has calcium in it. Its one of the natural sources of calcium for our new little babies (sugar gliders)... I am definitely including it in their diet as recommended, and thus found out about places it can be bought other then here and other forms to buy it in (for them)... but no wonder I don't have as many calcium issues as I thought I would without taking the Pills!
Had anyone else heard of this? I'll share the sources ernie used once I get them... he was going to email me links today.

Well, that makes sense! That explains why I can't use it and why everytime I've tried, I have the same swelling issues as when I have calcium in anything else. Thanks for sharing this!
