Fiance took Coral Calcium pills

Hi, my fiance took coral calcium pills...she recently starting a weight loss program and after she finished the five day course we made a trip to a local detox center to get colonics. After that day she decide to take coral calcium pills and complains about stomach ache, fever, and vomiting. Is this normal after taking coral calcium pills? I'm worried and would like to get some advice. Thanks for your time.

You should take those calcium pills with a whole meal. In the middle of a meal is probably the best time.

Your 600 mg pills are undoubtedly calcium carbonate pills and perhaps you are allergic to calcium carbonate. If taking the pill with plenty of food still gives you problems then you might have to try a different form of calcium such as calcium gluconate, calcium citrate or some other organic calcium. Organic calcium is absorbed much better than inorganic calcium carbonate so you don't need 600 mg calcium carbonate pills if you take organic calcium.
