I found chewable Caltrate D today .. does anyone if this is an acceptable for your calcium supplement? It isn't on my list of stuff (which I had forgotten to take with me)
Isn't Caltrate calcium carbonate? Post-WLS, you want to take calcium in citrate form because it is more easily absorbed and requires less stomach acid to process. It is also less likely to contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
yes, Jilly. Carbonate is the least absorbable form. BUT i'm figuring that, since the Caltrates are chewables, the absorption is better than in a tablet [which i can't swallow].
