Can taking a calcium-magnesium supplement cause stomach pains at night?

Yes, taking a calcium-magnesium supplement can sometimes cause stomach discomfort, bloating, gas, or cramps in some people. It is recommended to take it in the middle of a meal to reduce these side effects as much as possible. If the discomfort persists, it would be advisable to speak to a pharmacist about other calcium and magnesium options that may be better tolerated.
