(CBS) Pauley Perrette, the raven-haired star of NCIS, went to the emergency room on Friday after a severe allergic reaction to her hair dye. Now Perrette is urging others who have hair dye allergies to seek help.
Re: Calcium and Stomach Upset. First of all you need to be taking calcium citrate not calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate will definitely cause you stomach upsets. You also need to be taking magnesium with the calcium. Magnesium helps the body absorb calcium and also helps to prevent the stomach upsets and constipation.
What are the possible side effects of magnesium citrate (Citrate of Magnesia, Citroma)? Stop taking magnesium citrate and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take magnesium citrate and talk to your doctor if you experience diarrhea, upset stomach, dizziness, or sweating. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
