I thought citrate was good for C, carbonate for D (more)

I spent a lot of time looking stuff up on calcium a few months ago and here's what I figured out:

calcium citrate is good if you're constipated: Citracal

calcium carbonate is good if you have diarrhea:
Tums
Caltrate
OsCal
Viactiv (but most - perhaps all - flavors have dairy)

If I've got this wrong, would someone please let me know? I'm IBS-D and am being very careful to take calcium carbonate.

* 800 IU of Vitamin D didn't give me D (tee-hee). It just gave me a hair-trigger temper. Weird. -nt-
