Tasty Calcium Citrate Chewable



Recommended Posts

This is also important for us:

"Acid rebound. Calcium carbonate may cause [/size]acid rebound: the stomach overcompensates for the high dose of calcium carbonate, which is alkaline, by churning out more acid. For that reason, people with a history of stomach ulcers are advised that they may not tolerate it and may have to switch to calcium citrate." [/size]

From [/size]http://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/what_you_need_to_know_about_calcium

The bottom line is that there's a reason calcium citrate is the preferred form recommended by doctors and nutritionists for folks with VSG -- because it's safer and better absorbed.

Thank you- this is very interesting and beneficial to know. I will probably switch back to the BA chews. I do like them- it's just the other brand went down so much easier for me.

I will also bring this up with my NUT on my next visit. In my paperwork it actually says I can use either citrate or carbonate. With this new info I definitely prefer the citrate. I do produce a ton of acid (I always have- it definitely did not start when I started the carbonate ) so that may be why they have been working for me, however- I absolutely do not want to take something that could in fact cause even MORE acid. No thank you!!

On what day do you start on these Vitamins? I'm day 2 or 3 and thought that might be a bit much. My nut hasn't called me back yet about it.

Wait for the call back there is no need to rush.
Thank you so much!

You can call Bariatric Advantage and have them send you free samples to try. Its worth it. I like the orange and carmel the best.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
