calcium supplements

[Anonymous]

diagnosed with severe vitamin d deficiency. been told to take calcium supplements in addition to the vitamin d therapy. problem is the calcium is causing severe bloating & constipation - and i drink lots of water, eat fiber, exercise. is there hope? i feel driven to
just give up on the calcium

I don't know how long you've been on the supplements, but it's best to ease into them. Yes, calcium can cause constipation. Are you allowed to cut back on your dosage and work back up? I'd do that.
