Calcium Citrate alternatives?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've recently graduated to soft foods. This is also when I was instructed to start back up with my Vitamins, Calcium etc.

However it appears that I may have an allergy to the calcium citrate. I don't believe it could be anything else as it is the only new thing I've started taking.

I will be talking to my team (dr, nut, etc) on Monday about it, but I'm wondering in the mean time if anyone else has had the same issue and what alternatives have been suggested/offered. I'm going to stop taking it over the weekend and hope this settles down.

Thank you in advance,

Paula

I never heard of an allergic reaction to calcium citrate so I searched the internet and found the following article. http://www.drugs.com/cdi/calcium-citrate.html

interesting - I had not heard of it either until I saw the article the above poster posted. I wonder if it's the calcium citrate itself or some kind of binder in it. If the latter, maybe some other form of it might be more tolerable?

You could try the new Bariatric Advantage Calcium Crystals with Vitamin D. You mix it with Water or whatever. It completely mixes in with whatever you put it with. It is pure calcium citrate. No other ingredients and it's not too expensive either. I just ordered myself some. to put it in with my smoothies and Soups. I agree with some above. It's probably other ingredients in it if that is why you are breaking out. My nutritionist said since this is pure calcium it will reap the rewards as the citrate does! Hope you get it all figured out! :)

      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.
