I was wondering if any of you have taken Barefoot Coral Calcium and if so, did you have any problems taking it? I took 2 of them and was sick for a week. I'd like to think it was something else that made me feel so bad because from what I've heard and read about it, it is very good to take, but I didn't eat anything different that could have made me sick.

I've never heard of Coral Calcium....I take Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate together. I have IBS C and so Calcium can just make that worse! But the magnesium balances it out (calcium stops you and magnesium helps you go...so they're a perfect balancing act together)!  I hope this helps--and I hope you feel better soon!
Btw, did it make your tummy upset, make your IBS worse (IBS C or D?)
Always,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it did make my IBS C/D worse, lots of cramping and pain.

I've been taking Coral Calcium powder for several months now. It has helped me immensley. I recently changed brands and felt it wasn't as helpful, so different brands could make a difference. I also decided to take this calcium out of the capsule, we'll see if that makes a difference. I didn't think the different brands could make a difference, but maybe it does.

I'm so glad you posted this. I took a look at the ingredients of the "new" calcium I've started to take and found out it has "extra" ingredients. I thought it all was the same except the capsule, but they're not. The new one I have has Gelatin, Rice Flour Powder, Silica and Vegetable Magnesium Stearate. The "good" coral calcium has NO other ingredients. Magnesium Stearate has always been a laxative for me and with having IBS-D, it's not a good thing. Back to the 100% coral calcium powder. The 100% brand I have on hand is Eco-Pure. I had been taking another brand, but can't find the empty bottle. The additive calcium is from Vitamin World.

I took Barefoot Coral Calcium Plus and I just looked on the bottle and it has several different vitamins and minerals in it. There's about 16 different ingredients listed. Maybe that's why I felt so bad after taking these. I also read on it where you can empty the capsules. I will try to find the brand you have. Thanks so much.

I think you'll be safe finding one that's just Coral Calcium w/o any additives. It's the additives that screw us up I'm sure, not the calcium. I couldn't even find the first brand I took again, so had to purchase a different brand. Just make sure NO OTHER INGREDIENTS.
