Calcium Chews Causing a Bad Taste?



Recommended Posts

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 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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
