Calcium HELP- almost choked on it

Sorry this must have been asked a gaziilion times.. But i need Help! These Calcium horsepills are too big! I choke/gag everytime I drink them.

I saw calcium citrate with Vitamin D Petites- are they really small enough to swallow??? Do they have good taste? Anything else out there that is not too horrible?

The creamy chews sounds good, but are too expensive because Md said 1500mg/day total.

I never took anything and now i have cocktail of Vitamins ;( I'm really having a hard time with this.

Thanks!

    I can find Calcium carbonate chewables but not calcium citrate that my NUT recommended.

    Bariatric Advantage has chewable calcium citrate in raspberry, caramel, chocolate and lemon and they're sugar-free to boot.

    Thanks! I ended up buying Celebrate chews. It's good to have a backup in case I don't like the taste.

    My NUT actually advised against the Caltrate petites, saying they would be like "stones" in my stomach and difficult to digest. Hmm!

    Me too, i will order celebrate chews to try! My nut recommend UpCal D. This is powdered calcium citrate 500mg per scoop and and so far the reviews are good, will certainly try and see how it works ;)
