Are you sure it is due to calcium supplement? Ialso take multivits that contain calcium but I had no such issue. If you're already taking multivitamin there's no need to take extra calcium. To treat constipation you can take lactulose or prune juice. Eat lots of fiber and drink plenty of water!
Calcium usually not known to cause constipation, but iron is a common cause. Some people swear by chia seeds, my gynae had 0 also prescribed lactose syrup for me for constipation
I don’t think it’s the calcium that is causing it, but the iron? Maybe the brand isn’t suitable for you? Try asking ur gynae
Hi. Drink 2 glass of medium hot water in empty stomach in the morning. Eat prunes. Doctor recommend me this for constipation
Or you try taking low fat milk as substitute? Constipation can be caused by the iron in other multi vit.
Delmonte prune juice really helps with constipation. Incorporate more fruits and veggies in your diet.
Do cHeck with your gynae or with the pharmacist. Remember to drink plenty of water
