My doc said I was low on calcium so I picked this up 1600mg , I only did it once a day (says do twice) for 5 days, totally diarrhea. Started a worse flare up! It’s suppose to make you constipated I thought.
What’s a low dose calcium to take please?

Thanks

It is my understanding that calcium citrate is easier to absorb than carbonate. I don't know if Nature's Bounty has more than one, but a quick look showed carbonate. There are some fillers there too that maybe you are reacting to?
