A couple of calcium questions...

Does anyone know if you get used to calcium, like you get used to fiber? I really need to be taking calcium, but it sure doesn't agree with me too well. I'm drinking a glass of Rice Dream Enriched (which is tricalcium phosphate for the calcium) and taking one Citracal, and it makes me more crampy and gassy than without it. So I'm wondering if I start slow and keep adding a little bit at a time, do you get used to it or will it always do that? Has anyone found a calcium that doesn't bother them if they've had problems with others?

HI LoriAnn!
I'm new on this thread, but post over in the "Living Room" a lot. I don't know much about Citrical, BUT...I used to drink Rice Dream, and could never tolerate it. I think it was because it was LOADED with sugar! And that always slows the absorption of nutrients...especially minerals.

Have you ever tried CalMag? It's made by MegaFood. It is chemical free. Only made with whole food ingredients. It is wonderful!! I have taken it for years with no problems.

Good Luck!
