@johnbishop I take 1000 mg of calcium citrate and it does not bind me up. I'm still on Tramadol since my surgery and that can do it. I take Miralax, you can get generic miralax on Amazon. You have to be careful, if you take too much of it you may have diarrhea. I take less than a capfull now. I'm also on Tymlos, had side effects at first, but none now. Take care. I had degenerative arthritis too that caused a scoliosis and stenosis In My L-4 - 5 and S-1. That was the reason I had the surgery in June. The surgeon at Mayo had to start at T10 to my pelvis. I think you all ready know that from posts before. Take care.

@lilypaws before I stopped taking calcium I think it was calcium carbonate tablets and that was what gave me the most trouble. Then I tried the Viactiv calcium chews which were a little better but not much. I've got a cabinet full of Miralax, Metamucil and a generic brand and go between those and a bottle of stool softners which help but I don't think it's really good to take them that often. I will have to try the calcium citrate to see how well that goes. I also just bought a yogurt maker, some BioGaia Gastrus Chewable Tablets and some Organic Inulin Powder to help make the yogurt from a recipe by @LeeAase -- https://social-media-university-global.org/2020/05/best-yogurt-ever/. I just have to make the time to do it 🙂
