·Isn't the main active ingredient in caltrate calcium carbonate?I ask becuase in a fit of boredom I was looking through the ingredients on other over the counter stuff for non IBS stuff like indegestion. I found a product labbelled as idegeistion relief which was nothing more than chewy calcium carbonate though about 3 times cheaper than the caltrate.If you live in the UK it is by boots and is in the indegestion/heartburn section. If you live in the US it may be worth looking at the ingredients on such pills in your own drug stores.I can't help but feel that with caltrate your paying a premium for their marketing. If those of you fir whom caltrate works can save a few pennies and get the same relief then all the better!
