Calcium  

I am not lactose intolerant, but I admit I do not drink enough milk. I eat spinach a lot (raw) which contains calcium, but I still doubt that I get enough calcium from what I consume.

I take calcium supplements. They must work well, because I was told by my doctor to take calcium supplements when I was pregnant. My current doctor told me to take calcium supplements. There really must be something to it!

Of course, now that I'm older and going through menopause, I'm taking a prescription drug, Boniva, to help prevent bone loss.

if you are lactose intolerant, you should take soya milk, it is certified lactose free..

I have the same problem but I eat foods that are rich in calcium such as: Salmon,spinach,broccoli,almonds and others.

I am not lactose intolerant, however I did have a rather calcium kidney stone a couple of years ago, as a result, my doctor advised me to stay away from calcium supplements. I try to eat foods that supply calcium, but have also been warned to go easy on them, since my body may be absorbing too much. You could try soy milk, they also have been coming out with quite a few lactose free products, you should try some of those, I've even noticed lactose free cheeses.

I'm allergic to milk, not lactose intolerant, but I get my calcuim through the foods I eat and a women's multivitamin. I've had kidney stones before and my bone density tests look fine, so that's all I need to do. Make sure to supplement with Vitamin D if you're taking calcium supplements (most have it, but you'll have to check), too!

Hi

Dairy products like Milk, yogurt, cheese and buttermilk are the most significant source. If you have intolerant to milk you can take green leafy vegetables — including broccoli, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens and Chinese cabbage — are good sources of calcium. Canned salmon and sardines, shellfish, almonds, Brazil nuts and dried beans are also good dietary sources of calcium.
