Good lord, I pride myself on being very observant and knowlegeable about health-related issues, but I was only taking 1 calcium citrate tablet instead of 2 (at a time). Thanks for posting this!!! I will now take 6 pills a day instead of 3 ...

Hugs,
Annette

I can't imagine crushing them?! EW! LOL

Maybe I tolerate them better since I don't have a pouch??

Maybe it's the crushing of them that's upsetting your pouch. Are you able to swallow ANY calcium pills or do you get the same feeling? Maybe it's time to try a liquid calcium citrate.
