Re: Bobbe Tuesday we were talking about calcium

[Guest guest]

Hi Jo, that last quote surprises me since Dr. K told me to take my

calcium between meals, not with food. It would be great if taking

it with food were correct because I used to take it with food and it

was so much easier to remember it that way. Anyplace we can get

confirmation?

Hugs!
