(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.
It is my understanding that Zantac and other drugs in that class and the PPI's block the production of stomach acid which some medications may need to be absorbed. That is why I now take it away from all my meds and only at night. I also was taking calcium carbonate all that time which was probably not being absorbed because of the Zantac. I switched to the calcium citrate which is not supposed to need the stomach acid to be absorbed. After going to two md's who told me to take Actonel or Reclast, I went to a naturopath who recommended Boneup by Jarrow which does have the calcium citrate and MK7 Vit K2.
