(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.
Some people over-do vitamin D supplementation and/or calcium supplementation. Elevated blood calcium levels, which can be brought about by too much vitamin D, will cause constipation. If you supplement either vitamin D or calcium and have constipation, ask your doctor to check serum 25OHD, 1,25D, and calcium levels.
