In Reply to: Calcium carbonate binds phosphorus? posted by T and Q on May 26, 2000 at 12:15:25:

someone sent me a link a long time ago and i lost it cuz at that point, Ampho was working ... (sorry igmom, i shoulda listened!!!)

but yep! they're trying to get away from using aluminum and have found that calcium carbonate and calcium acetate work well without the worries of adding aluminum to the already weakened system ... calcium acetate works better than the carbonate but is only available in prescription right now ... calcium carbonate is in *most* antacids! hmmmm ... including the cherry chewable kind! *evil gleam in eye* ... mmmmmm, nummies iZ! *grin* ...

now i just need to find some sort of guideline for dosage!
