question - problem with calcium supplements??

Re: Vomiting and distension from calcium supplements

Does anyone in the group have a reaction to calcium supplements. I

find that after consuming Caltrate 600 D plus calcium supplements

(chewable), I get stomach distension, LUQ pain, and vomiting. The

pain and vomiting stop when I stop consuming the calcium supplements,

even though I seem to be able to tolerate a once-a-day chewable

multivitamin supplement. Also, I think there may be an association

with soluble fiber in oatmeal. At any rate, I can't sort it out. So,

I am trying to get my daily calcium through diet, such as wedges of

low-fat cheddar cheese.
