It is difficult to swallow and burns in my stomach and in my anus. The other from gummi is not easy to take a little too hard. I am 89.

I find acidity of stomach increases and it aggravates my sinusitis problem. Is there any other antidote which I can take along with this calcium to avoid the above mentioned problems?

I have started to have the feeling of something-not-swallowed-all-the-way every time I take this. I started out taking 1 tablet, and saw that I need to take 2 in order to get the full amount per serving. Now, every time I take this, I feel like I am "choking" in my lower esophagus.
