Can anyone recommend a bottled low calcium water for buns please.
i used to get Deeside from ocado but it is not in stock so need a back up.
Am pretty desperate.
Thank you

SarahP knows a good one. I can't remember what it is though!

Perhaps drop her a PM and then let us all know what it is :)
 
Yes, Deeside is still the lowest, but so hard to get. Tescos Ashbeck as mentioned is not much higher in calcium than Deeside (and way cheaper!), then after that you've got Volvic, just slightly higher again, but still low.
 
Thats great, thank you SO much guys.
Yes i have a bun with calcium sludge issues. Had it for a couple of years.
Now on low calcium diet. I live in a hard water area and have found changing the water to make a massive difference.
Didnt think to buy it direct from Deeside (postage is £9 for 2 boxes of £12):shock:
Thanks again

I just hoped that it would be very much cheaper per bottle to buy direct and this would offset the postage. Obviously not the case. I do get fed up with postal charges.

Yes but it doesn't get anywhere near as low as these low calcium bottled waters.

Oh poo! I thought I was giving one of my piggies low calcium water as I filter everything through a Brita filter jug. Perhaps I should start buying bottled water instead?

Yeah, I've still had piggies with stones even with the lowest calcium bottled waters, so I'll never risk anything any higher.
 
Speaking of filters, I just saw some different ones in Tescos but have forgotten the name already.
