I've been swallowing Citracal "Petities" with no problem since day 10 post surgery. They're about 40% smaller and shaped in such a way that they shouldn't get stuck.

I have been taking Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D 600 chewables. Got them at Walmart, Greg picked them out. I chew 2 at bedtime, they're not too bad.

Caltrate is calcium carbonate - beware of kidney stones and potentially decreased absorption.

Tums = calcium carbonate. See my reply to pajames.

citracal makes petites, they are smaller and easier to swallow
