  • I got the chews Carmel and choc. Both were really good. Felt like my daily treats. Two. Twice daily. I had the celebrate brand. And Bariatric choice carries some also. A little pricey. But worth

  • Yeah, I tried the Unjury (multi and Calcium) but I could not stomach (ha) them after two weeks. (Anyone out there want two, mostly full, bottles?). It's hard to find the citrate. Since I can now to

Thank you so much for asking!

I at first found some chewables and they upset my tummy. At 3 weeks I started swallowing my PPI just fine and so at week 4 I switched to citrical petites, they are citrate which is absorbed better by us because of the limited time spent in the tummy. The first month I took them I split the petite tablets in half and swallowed. Now I swallow them whole. I found mine at either cvs or Walgreens!

Ok, great!!! Thanks so much! Btw, idk if u have a Kroger in ur area but they have Calcium citrate (in the Kroger brand) for $9.69 and it's buy one get one free...get one free! I can't remember exactly how many are in the bottle, but I think it's a 150-200 count bottle! So, you get at least a 90-100 day supply for about $20 bucks depending on the tax in your state!!!!

Aww, that sucks! Kroger is great!

Sam's Club had their brand of calcium citrate (compare to OsCal petites) for $9.98.

I use Celebrate caramel, berry, and chocolate calcium citrate chews. Very tasty!
