Hi old karl and john - Please don't count on the "jelly" variety of calcium to be less of a constipation-er (medical term)! I looked for a long time to find a tasty calcium jelly that would be both candy and good for me. I experienced the constipation almost immediately. My mother, on the other hand (she died at nearly 102) took the regular old whopping big calcium pills most of her life and never had a problem with it. This tells me it may be an individual thing but she usually had a cup of strong coffee in the morning and had to stop that 'cause it gave her the "trots" - so who knows? Might try several different permutations of the calcium &/or coffee.... hmmmm?
