Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 >>Mandy - No TUMS! (Jeanne) Okay, Sis.. You got to her first. LOL Dear Mandy, I didn't know this either when my surgeon told me about TUMS. The strange thing is this -- He has a brochure and samples of Citrical D right in his office! LOL When I asked him about it he gave me several packets and said that Citrical was a great product but I could use TUMS if I wanted to. Hm. Anyway, use Citrical D and it will insure that you get an adequate, digestible source of daily calcium and vitamin D. Take good care and God bless you richly.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Mandy - No TUMS! These are calcium carbonate and can give you kidney stones. We need calcium citrate - hard to find in chewables. Vitalady sells capsules that can be opened and added to protein drinks or applesauce or yogurt. You're gonna make Mom crazy with this talk about Tums. Take care. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T. Chua Open RNY - 5/21/02 5'7 " - 314/218/150-175 djgraves@...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 , maybe you ask her more about this. WHY does she say take Tums, when Tums require the acid in the stomach to dissolve? And you won't HAVE any, or very much, acid? Maybe she doesn't know this. Citrate doesn't need the acid.... Maybe she doesn't know that, either.... You don't LOSE anything by taking the citrate, so that would be my choice. But maybe you could educate her. Cheers! Sharon in D.C.
