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.

∙ 13y agoNo one is allergic to calcium, which is a mineral that is necessary to human life. You may, however, have an allergy to milk proteins, which are often associated with calcium. Try to find a better source of calcium, not containing milk protein if that is the case. In any event, you can consult your Doctor Who is in a much better position than we are to diagnose exactly what kind of allergy you may have, and to recommend a suitable diet.

Yes, you can have an "allergy" or in this case (to be more precise) a 'sensitivity' to real pearls (or anything else under the sun).In my experience I have not yet met anyone who is actually allergic to pearls and I have been in the pearl retail/wholesale and pearl farming business for many years.

People can be allergic to calcium carbonate, which the pearls are made of.
