Multivitamins without calcium (or a small amount)?

I have been taking the Centrum chewables (sometimes the regular and sometimes the Silver), but I now have either a UTI or a third episode of kidney stones since my RNY 5.5 years ago. Does anyone know of a multivitamin without the calcium carbonate or with a very small amount? The kind I purchased before is no longer available and if this is a third kidney stone episode, I want to eliminate all of the calcium carbonate if I can.

I use The Vitamin Shoppe generic brand, which has 100 mg of calcium carbonate. I don't know if that is low enough for your needs, though.
At any rate take care and feel better soon.

Lora, what does the calcium carbonate do or how does it affect you?

Calcium carbonate can cause kidney stones.

Kelly, my multi also has calcium carbonate listed as an ingredient. Should I be concerned or is this an individual issue? I've never had a single problem with my kidneys.

It normally isn't a problem, but since I have had two -- and now perhaps three -- kidney stone incidents in the 5.5 years since my RNY (and NONE in the 45 years prior to my RNY), I want to eliminate the calcium carbonate as a potential cause of the stones.

Thanks! That was easy enough! I like their Strawberry Pineapple chewable. (I just didn't like their price.)
