@gently Confirming your note omeprazole, and adding that better results happen with Calcium Citrate supplements when you are on a PPI.

Example reference:
https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/calcium-curious
"People taking medications that reduce stomach acid — such as the proton-pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec) or the H2 blockers (Tagamet, Zantac) — should take a CALCIUM CITRATE supplement because lower amounts of stomach acid mean they won't absorb calcium carbonate properly."

@kfhoz I have a urologist and endocrinologist and nephrologist, and I am taking extra calcium citrate with every meal. I'm being watched very carefully thank you so much.
