So I tried taking calcium supplements but for some reason I break out in hives. I have tried the generic brand and the caltrate and both give the same results *ugh* Im guessing Im going to have to stick to dairy products for this.

Any one else have the same problem?

    I haven't had that problem...have you checked the ingredient lists on the supplements? Do they have a common ingredient?

    You may want to try a natural brand and see if that is any better. Check out the brand Nature Made or the supplements sold at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's that have no artificial colors, preservatives, etc. It may be some additive in the supplement that you are allergic to.
