Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 make sure you give calcium on an acid stomach (with a protein food) because calcium needs an acid environment to be digested. nancy j From: Yarkoni <tanya.yarkoni@...> Subject: calcium makes her gassy Date: Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 10:29 AM  hey my 3 yr old seems to get gassy after i give her calcium unflavored from kirkmans any thoughts about this do most people who put their kids on a CF diet give calcium supplements thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, I never supplemented it, in fact I had to use a demineralizer to remove the excess. Calcium requires magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and lysine for proper absorption.
