What kind of Vit. D and Calcium do you all suggest ?

[Guest guest]

Hi, My mother needs to take Calcium with D..But she has problems with it ( she says ) constipation..Her new doctor wants her on Calcium..She has had her Thyroid removed and has thinning bones..I haven't checked lately on whats out there..I suggested she get chewable..Any suggestions on this would be greatly welcomed..I'm leaving for Ohio around Friday.to have my stent removed..And would like for her to have the info..You guys are great! from Ohio in GeorgiaI too have had problems with low levels of vitamin D. I was taking 1000 IU of D when my blood level tested at 6 (30+ is considered normal, below 10 extremely deficient). I doubled my supplement to 2000 IU - that raised the blood level to 7. Now I'm taking 4000 IU and will see what the next test shows. Tim
