Calcium
19/f
Alright so the medication I am on depletes the calcium from my body and the bone damage that comes if you do not have enough calcium is not reversible. The problem is, all the calcium supplements I have tried make me pretty sick. I try to get calcium naturally from food but I also am sort of lactose intolerant. I can take about 1 glass of milk with food, but any more than that I get sick. Either way it isn't enough, my doctor said to try and get about 1500 mg a day. Anyway I am concerned becasue I am young and don't want any serve bone damage. Is there anything I could take with the supplement to help me digest them better, or calcium rich foods I that won't make me sick? Thanks

Since you are on a medication, I will suggest that you call your doctors office. Explain the situation and see what he/she suggests you try.
Other than food, you should make sure you don't take anything with the supplement that may not get along with the medication. :)

Have you tried eating yogourt or cheese? I'm lactose intolerant too, but cheese is fairly low in lactose.
There are tons of calcium rich, non-dairy foods out there... too many to list on here, in fact!
