Calcium poll
Someone suggested a poll about what type of calcium everyone uses, so here it is.
Which do you use:
Citracal
Generic calcium citrate (citrate, not carbonate)
Chewable calcium citrate (like from Celebrate or Bariatric Advantage)
Calcet creamy bites
Caltrate or generic calcium carbonate
Viactive (which is calcium carbonate, which we don’t absorb)
One of those all-in-one bariatric vitamins (like Optisource or Bariatric Fusion)
Upcal D (powdered calcium citrate)
Wellesse (which is a combo of calcium citrate and tricalcium phosphate - we don't absorb that)
Liquid calcium citrate
Something else – what?
Anyone not taking any calcium at all?
Mostly I use Upcal D, but I like Calcet creamy bites for a treat.
