First are you taking the calcium with 40 mg of magnesium or a different one. This may help to get you to go more often but it still controls the diarrhea. Did you start with 1/2 tablet with each meal or did you do a full tablet at first. You just may need 1/2 tablet with each meal to keep you firmed up.Then do you take any other meds that may have constipation as a sided effect.I am glad you are getting some relief so lets start here and see if we can make it better.Email me if you like.Linda
