Calcium Chews Causing a Bad Taste?

[Jen-ny 18]

Hi! I’m almost 10 weeks post rny surgery. I keep having a long lasting bad taste in my mouth. (Yes I’m taking my reflux meds!) I was trying to pay attention to when it’s worse and I think it’s after I take my Calcium chew! I switched to a different brand and it’s the same taste. I’m wondering if calcium citrate chews cause a bad taste for anyone else? Maybe it’s something else and I’m way off but I feel like it’s the chews! Thanks for your time!

Are you talking about a metallic taste?

I don't have this problem, but I understand it can happen to some people. I'm not saying this is the cause, but it might be an indication that you actually are suffering from hypercalcemia, which means you have an excess of Calcium in your blood. It might be worth talking to your medical team and having some test run to rule out medical issues?

If it's not a metallic taste, then all bets are off, but I still think it would be worth a discussion with your doctor and maybe some blood test, just to rule out anything.

It happens to me each time I have my Calcium chew. It is lemon and the taste is very unpleasant.

I have that aftertaste as well, doesn't matter the product. I take it before a meal.

I use cal - mag liquid. I've attached photos. Have not had any issues and taste is good kinda thick but I wash the little cup I have. It has measurements on the side the nurse at the hospital gave me my pain meds in them and I asked if she could give me a few to take home( I got 10-12 ) of them. She was awesome!
