If calcium tablets caused weight gain, I would have a perfect excuse for my belly! Joking aside, they don't have calories, so they won't make you fat. It is likely just gas or constipation making you feel bloated.
My doctor prescribed these after I had a hairline fracture, and my weight stayed exactly the same. They don't cause weight gain at all. Just drink enough water so you don't get a heavy stomach.
I have been taking calcium supplements on and off for five years now. They do not cause fat gain, but the carbonate form can cause serious bloating if not taken with meals. Switch to calcium citrate if you feel heavy, as it is much easier on the digestive system.
There is no scientific correlation between calcium supplementation and weight gain. In fact, calcium plays a positive role in metabolic health. If you are experiencing weight changes, it is best to consult your doctor to evaluate other hormonal or dietary factors.
