Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: erind a calcuim question for you

Thank you! Tomorrow is supposed to be the big day. We will see. So please send out all your mommy vibes!

The best way to get calcium is from food, however as you know, it's difficult to get the amount you need when you are sensitive to certain foods and on top of it, pregnant. Ready to eat cereals are fortified with calcium. You can also get a fair amount of calcium from salmon which is also an excellent protein source. Although greens provide high amounts of calcium, make sure you eat them very carefully! You can try adding this into smoothies or cooking them very well. Seaweed is also an excellent source of calcium (Kelp in particular is loaded with calcium). If you just can't get enough from food I would start supplementing some calcium. If you are IBS-D, try calcium carbonate. If you are IBS-C try Calcium Citrate (calcium with magnesium).

I hope this helps! and congrats to you too

Erin
