Anyone having trouble with calcium suppliments?

[QTR-nevermore 32]

I am taking chewable calcium citrate, the B.A. big cherry ones. The taste is getting more bearable, so that is not the issue, but I am beginning to have really bad nausea when I take them. Like upchucking bad. I feel discomfort and often pain soon after swallowing it, then my saliva glands go nuts and I am spitting like crazy trying to avoid throwing up, but I often do. I have not had this problem before. Today I tried a 265 mg tablet, generic, got it down then the same thing happened. Ten minutes of torture. Anyone else with this problem, and what have you done about it?

My surgery was almost two months ago. I have had minor discomfort with the Calcium all along, but it has been getting much worse since a week or so ago.

Thanks in advance.

Do you let them desolve or do you chew them? They are hard and dry and bumpy going downso it's best to let them desolve. It takes me 10 minutes to eat one. They should also not be taken all at the same time. You can only absorbed about 500mg of Calcium at a time.

Hope this helps.

Try the Celebrate calcium chews. They have lots of flavors. I'm currently taking strawberry and it tastes like a star burst! I have a hard time with my chewable Multivitamin, they make me sick but the Calcium is wonderful, goes down good. Almost like a little sweet treat!

Im taking the 500mg calcium citrate (strawberry) and that combined with my new chewable multi Vitamin cause a really bad reaction for me. I am having to take my mulit in the morning and my Calcium in the evening from now on.

I'm doing ok with my Calcium (tablets) but all of a sudden my Multivitamins (celebrate) are making me sick. At first it was just nausea, but now I'm throwing them up. I don't understand why they were fine and now they aren't.
