Mr. MM's mom, post RNY, has been having bone-density testing done every six months which (until now) has been okay. No longer. She's got osteoporosis. It's to be expected for a woman over 50, sure, but post gastric bypass does not help.
She called and said that she's been asked to take 1500 mgs. of calcium per day, she had been taking chewy caramel calcium (most likely this carbonate product, while tasty, not absorbed as much, if any) and chewable Citracal previous to that, until it was no longer available.
Off to order some chewable calcium citrate.
