Calciblend/Urinary Alkilization and Coffee Tamer

I think for most people that would work, I think its a ratio of 3 to 1 or something close to that with calcium being the higher number. Good idea.

Oh, I had a thought last night before bed... has anyone tried any of the suppliments that have both Calcium and Magnesium in them, for both alkilizing the urin and for constipation?

I wonder if that would work....

[Tink22]

Thank you for the information.

I tried Flaxmeal, which worked really well for my constipation, however oddly it greatly exaserbated my IC for some reason so I had to stop taking it. Kinda disappointing. :/

I ordered Lifetime Coral Calcium, 1000mg caps. Must be a capsule with no vitamins added. You are supposed to take one with each meal, so 3x a day. You need to take Magnesium with it so you don't get consipated. I take Twin Lab Magnesium caps, 1 at night. I also take 2 caps Flaxseed oil at night. I have been taking the flaxseed for over a year now. I figure that is good all around for everything! I'll let you know how it goes.

I take (Natures Way) magnesium caps too but I have to take around 3 of them a day (1200mg) to not be constipated! But thats just me lol, probably related to my IBS and some of my meds do that to me. I take the flaxseed caps too, think they're really great for inflammation, have helped my dry eyes tremendously.

Hi MelindaP,

What calcium capsuls did you order? Would you let me know how well the work for you?

[MelindaP]

LindaMay,
I believe the calcium helps neutralize the acidic nature of our urine, thereby protecting the bladder tissue & giving it time to heal. I know when I drink the baking soda in water I feel great relief from the burning. I also make all my drinking water more alkaline by putting in Alkalife drops. I am going to start taking the calcium capsules when they arrive in the mail. Then hopefully I can stop drinking the baking soda in water!

Thank you for the information on the Alkalife, I had not heard of it.

I also did not know that plain old calcium worked lol. I just may give that a try.

[Linda May]

will calcium pills help my ic?

[cmclien]

No but regular old calcium will do the same thing for you (alkalize your urine)
And I do like the idea of those drops so I ordered some. I simply cannot find neutral bottled water, everyone I've bought has been acidic.

[MelindaP]

I buy Alkalife drops. I put 2-3 drops in each glass I drink. Even in my bottled water! I think it really helps.

Has anyone tried either of these? How well did it work for you?
