Got to find some chews!!
I think I have stopped looking for Citrical chews. I heard they were no longer making them,. I sooo wanted them..never had them.
I have looked further than the US , at other countries that might make the chews, I reallly wanted chews.
Has any one tried these brands or does anyone know anything about these brands.

Caltrate is made with Calcium Carbonate. We need CITRATE.
However, Bariatric Advantage has purchased the rights to begin producing the former Citrical Creamy Bites. When I talked to a rep the other day, they said to look for them this coming fall, but they don't have the details about distribution, flavors or timeframe just yet.
For now I'm using a combination of UpCalD (powdered calcium citrate) and the Wild Cherry BA chewable calcium citrate. I'm looking forward to the fall when the creamy bites are back on the market.

Thanks Pam.
I was struggling for some reason the other day and couldnt find the info...must have been one of those days for me..lol
Thats GREAT about the bites comming back in the fall !
I will be "stalking" the shelves for them.
I ended up writing to the citrical people and they said:

I might try calling these people to see if I can get anymore info.
In the mean time I will just same my time and go ahead and buy the Bariatic chewable.
Citracal sold their entire line of calcium to Bayer. EXCEPT the Creamy Bites. The Creamy Bites went to Mission. This is the same message that was circulating around the boards here about 4 or 5 months ago. Not sure if Mission still owns the Creamy Bites or if they've sold all rights over to Bariatric Advantage. But if you call BA they acknowledge openly that they will be producing the product and selling them soon.

I also can't wait to try the creamy bites, as I looked all over town for them too. I did buy the bariatric advantage chocolate chewables and the cherry ones. The cherry ones are WAY too sour, like sour patch kids. The chocolate are good. I have been alternating with the Citracal petites, that you can get at Walmart, etc. I can swallow whole pills, but it hurts sometimes. I hope the creamy bites are reasonably priced!
When I talked to BA a few weeks ago they said they'll be out this fall. I'm sure there will be plenty of hype around the release that you'll hear about it here on the boards. I wouldn't be surprised if BA pays for a big advertising splash here on OH, so keep an eye on the ads too.
