So, I got home tonight and was so happy to see a box with 240 BA chews.  Why was I so excited?  I couldn't take the chocolate lozenges anymore.  The chalky consistency was so annoying.  Well, I knew that the chews had 15 cals each - that is 75 more cals a day since the lozenges had ZERO cals. 

Did I mention they have 3g of sugar alcohols each?  And I need 5 a day.  Am I too early out to have these?  Who am I kidding - I've had 3 already and they are so good but which ones are really better for me?

 I've been on a calcium wild goose chase. First try was BA lozenges. I gag at the thought. Next, i tried Celebrate's Chewable calcium...100x better but still gritty and large. So i ordered the BA chews. I plan on having 1 Celebrate 500mg calcium and 4 chews. If its between brittle bones/messed up labs and 60 extra calories..im choosing the 60 calories. I wouldnt be compliant the other way.

Did you have to buy the Celebrate's Chewable calcium online?  The shipping costs are killing me or did you find them in a store?  I like your idea of mixing your calcium up a bit.

 Buy them off of Amazon. Its a much better deal! They dissolve in ur mouth, not turn to thick paste like the BA chewables lol

BA rep told me to let lozenges dissolve slowly in my mouth instead of chewing them.  I don't have any problem with them now and the cost is much lower than the chews.
