Re: need help!!       09/11/05 10:29 PM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) Well, here's what I came up with when I did research on calcium supplements a while back: calcium citrate is good if you're constipated: Citracal calcium carbonate is good if you have diarrhea: Tums (but they have mineral oil) Caltrate OsCal Viactiv (but most - perhaps all - flavors have dairy) I'm IBS-D and I take Tums. I do fine with them, but I started with a very low dose - 200 mg of calcium per day - and worked my way up to 1500 mg very slowly. Please do take some kind of calcium. Even if you're in your teens, twenties, or early thirties, you need it because those are the years when your body lays down good solid bone in your skeleton - it's your savings account for your later years. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
