Hi Vicki,
Sorry to hear about Ryan. Anything different happen that might have caused the
drops? This happened to Tara a lot but they would raise the calcium with one or
2 extra .25 pills and add oral calcium.Tara's daily dose is 1 mcg. I do know
that the low calcium can cause a drop in potassium. Is Ryan having stomach
issues?
I also know that Tara used to take potassium at home. Now she has the opposite
problem???
Best wishes
Linda

double dose of calcitriol(4 -.25 per day) plus 4000-6000 mg of calcium. I am
very nervous about him absorbing too much calcium. Any thoughts?
