If you are allergic to calcium what do you do?
Yes - you can have an allergic reaction to calcium carbonate. It's derived from oyster shells. Stop taking calcium carbonate and seek emergency medical attention if you experience a rare allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take calcium carbonate and notify your doctor if you experience nausea or vomiting; decreased appetite; constipation; dry mouth or increased thirst; or increased urination. Some drugs will affect calcium carbonate - before taking it tell your doctor if you are taking digoxin, antacids containing calcium or aluminum; calcitriol or vitamin D supplements; a tetracycline antibiotic such as tetracycline, demeclocycline, doxycycline, minocycline, or oxytetracycline (all these have various brand names). Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with calcium carbonate. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.
What liquid can melt a pearl?
Pearls will dissolve in vinegar. This is because pearls are mostly calcium carbonate (you can find calcium carbonate probably in your medicine cabinet--it is the main ingredient in stomach antacid tablets, such as Tums). Another common item that is calcium carbonate would be eggshells. It is just in a harder form.Calcium carbonate, through chemical reactions to a weak acid solution (vinegar, also a red wine would be a weak acid solution), dissolves the chemical bonds in the calcium carbonate pearl and therefore, it will dissolve.Give it a try yourself--get some eggshells, place them in a glass. Then add white vinegar. Give it a bit and see what happens to the eggshell.I would really suggest that you not try this will real pears--real pearls are expensive, and someone would be really, really angry that you destroyed expensive pearls--eggshells are so much better to do this experiment. No one is going to really mind that you have dissolved eggshells

Is Citracal or Caltrate better?
Calcium carbonate (Caltrate) should be taken with meals since it requires stomach acid to dissolve and absorb. Also, calcium carbonate has the most calcium per pill (40%), therefore you need to take fewer pills. In some people, calcium carbonate causes constipation. Calcium citrate (Citracal) can be absorbed on an empty stomach and is not as dependent on stomach acid for absorption. However, it has less calcium per pill (20%), so you have to take more pills. It does not cause constipation.
