i need to take a calcium supplement because i do not tolerate dairy very well, and almonds and sesame and soy don't like my gut too much either.
Ive tried calcium from algae thinking that would be fine but it also made me constipated/incomplete evacuation feeling.
Im thinking cal citrate? Or amino acid chelate?
What do you guys take?

I use Jarrow Bone Up. It contains Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite. It also contain other vitamins to increase absorption.

Don't take supplemental calcium unless your blood levels are low. Pathogens use it to build biofilms.

I'd suggest a mixed Calcium.

I've used Caltrate +D for over 10 years I think. It's chewable and I've never had any issue with it, even when I'm flaring.  I take two a day.

How about almond milk? That is full of easly absorbable calcium - if you can tolerate it of course....
