Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 My DS is telling me his eyes hurt. He takes 1 capsule (150mg) of Calcium Citrate before each meal. (3 per day) Any ideas what might be causing this or what I could do to help? TIA Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sue, did this eye pain begin when you started Ca citrate? If so my first thoughts are that the Ca citrate will be binding with oxalates in the gut, removing them safely, BUT this may be having a knock on effect of drawing out ox crystals from tissues in the body, causing pain, the eyes are one known area that this can happen from.....called oxalate dumping....it's a good sign, but if it's causing him too much distress you may want to go a bit slower with the Ca citrate. hth, Nikki > > My DS is telling me his eyes hurt.
