tolerance of calcium supplements?

evabuk

another question for anyone who has experience of having to take calcium...I've read in lots of places that people have problems tolerating calcium supplements, and wonder how those problems present themselves.

I've been prescribed Adcal D3 for my osteoporosis as well as very low Vit d levels. So far, I'm not sure if I've got a reaction or not...bit constsipated, but then that's nothing unusual with the opiate pain meds.

What problems have you experiences, if any?

thanks, Eva

Hi Eva, I've been on calcium/vit D supplements for years now and I have never noticed any problems with them.

thanks for the replies...I think it's been making my constipation worse...also I've had skin rash on my back, which is a stated side effect on the leaflet.

Guess I'll have to ask at the health food store to see if there are any alternatives. :?:
