(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.
So, for example, if you are going to take 1000 mg calcium daily, take two doses of 500 mg each. If you choose a calcium carbonate supplement, take it with meals. You can take calcium citrate either with or without food. For detailed meal planning and advice on supplements, you should meet with a registered dietitian.
