Gratefull says "After gall bladder removal, had terrible diareha." about Caltrate Calcium with Vitamin D -Tablets

After I had my gall bladder removed, after eating I always got cramping and the runs and could not go anywhere if I ate, so if I had to go anywhere I did'nt eat till I returned home. I now take half of a Caltrate after or before I eat and the problem is gone, after suffering for two years I'm able to have a normal life again. Still watch the fat intake but a lot of us have this problem after gall bladder removal and the doctors don't tell you anything about the outcome of not having a gall bladder.

AnnaBanana says "Just what the doctor ordered!" about Caltrate Calcium with Vitamin D -Tablets

I dropped in to Dr. Forbes' office yesterday for a check-up and this time we rehauled and updated my medical records. To facilitate this, Dr. Forbes had asked me to bring my medications in so she could check them again. Usually in a case like this, I just bring in prescription meds but this time I took "the works", even including painkillers and vitamin supplements. BINGO! One careful, considered look at that GNC Calcium and Vitamin D supplement I reviewed a few weeks ago and Dr. Forbes suggested something else. She said that someone who is taking Arimidex (or anybody else especially concerned about bone health) could do better than the GNC product. Among her across-the-counter suggestions was Caltrate 600+D Plus Minerals Calcium Supplement. Today I picked up a bottle of 60 tablets at Walgreen's for a little more than $8.00.

STATS:

When comparing the GNC product and Caltrate 600+D Plus supplements, once again the language on the label becomes important. Stats are given...

glinda913 says "Caltrate is the best." about Caltrate Calcium with Vitamin D -Tablets

My doctor told me to try Caltrate since I am not a milk drinker or dairy lover in general. I had been using the soft chews and I hated the chalky taste they left in my mouth after it was gone so I asked my doctor what was going to give me what I needed and not the awful taste and she suggested Caltrate. I am very happy with this product even though the pill is rather large. I may try the chewable Caltrate in the future to see how those are also....

LoveisJoy says "A Big Pill That Goes Down Surprisingly Easy" about Caltrate Calcium with Vitamin D -Tablets

In the past year, I've tried a few brands of vitamin supplements hoping to find a calcium pill that I didn't have to chew, but that was also easy to swallow. Calcium tablets tend to be large, and I have trouble swallowing large pills. Luckily, I found Caltrate Calcium Supplement with Vitamin D. Yes, it's still a large pill, but it's coated and shaped so that it goes down fairly easy. I hate it when a large pill begins to melt in your mouth and leaves a bitter taste before you've gotten it down your throat. That's never been a problem with Caltrate.

What I Like About Caltrate Calcium:

600mg of calcium for 60% of recommended daily value
Double the Vitamin D (400 IU) for proven calcium absorption
Clinically tested
Supports bone and colon health
Oval shaped tablet is coated and easier to swallow
Doesn't disintegrate in my mouth while I'm trying to swallow
Doesn't upset my stomach

I initially bought Caltrate because I was interested in getting an effective combination of calcium and Vitamin...
