lucky2bLAURA 31 Posted May 31, 2012 Can I just use Tums or Rolaids for my Calcium supplement or should I buy like Caltrate or the equivalent? I'm not knowledgable on the subject and neither is anyone I know.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takingaleap 71 Posted May 31, 2012 Im still pre op, but my Doc, said i have to take 500mg Calcium with Vitamin D3 every day. I would call up your doctors office and just ask Good Luck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarks4willie 153 Posted May 31, 2012 I take the little Calcium 'candies'. Theyre delish and what doc told me to take. Feels like I'm having 2 candies a day. 1 takingaleap reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are those the little choclate-y ones I've seen advertised? Vitaactive or something like that.... It sounds like that might be worth it... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1shauna1 129 Posted May 31, 2012 I take the Caltrate chewables. There are 3 flavours. They have 1500 mg of Calcium and only like 5 calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted May 31, 2012 I take Caltrate Plus which has Vitamin D as well. I use my Vitamins as a treat: Caltrate plus (chewable), multi Vitamin childrens chewable with choline, Vitamin D guummy, and Vitafusion Fiber gummies.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
