Got a problem and who else to go to but all of you.

I'm supposed to be taking two Caltrate petites a day. However, I can't because they give me the worst stomach cramps and constipation. (Sorry, I know TMI). My doctor wants me to take it still even though all my labs look good (all 17 tubes of blood those vampires took). What can I do about the cramps and constipation?

PS. My dietician informed me not to take my Vitamins at the same time as my Calcium. She said that it interferes with the absorption of the vitamins.

Hi I had this problem for a while and I started taking mine right before I eat or eat something with it. Also I quit taking this and my vitamin together. This might help, it did me.

upcalD... Its a tasteless calcium powder that you can mix into anything. I mix it into my protein shakes and cant taste a thing. They are 500mg of calcium each packet. I take 2 a day and get the rest of my calcium from the food I eat.
