(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.
Each pill or chew provides 200â400 mg of calcium. Calcium citrate, a more expensive form of the supplement, is absorbed well on an empty or a full stomach. In addition, people with low levels of stomach acid (a condition more common in people older than 50) absorb calcium citrate more easily than calcium carbonate.
