my daughter has aps type 1 and needs to have 500 of elemental calcium. she takes tums for this, but absolutly hates them. can you recommend something else?

Most of my patients take 500 mg calcium carbonate 3 X daily at 1-2 pills at a time. Such tablets are a bit chalky but usually tolerated. How old is your daughter? Besides her presumed hypoparathyroidism, what other problems does your daughter have?
Kind regards,
