you may want to check with your Doc.... My nutritionist had me take one sugar-free tums a day until I was 4 months out.... now I take the caltrate "petites"

Viactiv is the wrong kind? My nurse suggested I get them otherwise I would have gotten something different. Good grief...I'm having a hard time affording all this stuff.

Vitamin Shoppe has their own brand of them. I purchase on line Calcet Citrate creamy chews. There's a lemon cream and a chocolate fudge cream. A little expensive, but they double as my chocolate fix every day. Just google Calcet Citrate and a bunch of sites that sell it will pop up...

Here is the link to the ones that my nut recomends. They are pretty good. Be careful, the chocolate ones are 30 chews but the cream ones are a 30 day supply (90 chews).
