That's because your body doesn't absorb the OTC calcium very well at all.

Calcium Lactate is highly soluble. But I agree the best way to get it is

straight from the source. Don't forget non-dairy sources...almonds, sesame

seeds (tahnini paste), brocolli, spinach, collard greens, kale, etc. They are

full of many other nutrients, too, for a well-balanced source. Can you tell I

really get into nutrition? I made homemade baby food for my kids and kept

charts to make sure they had enough servings in each category so I have a little

practice in double-dipping (counting one thing in multiple categories). Yeah, I

know...kind of an obsession--or freak:-). That's why I like to share what I've

learned. And the more I learn, the more I find there is to know. Also, I was

insulin-dependent gestational diabetic 3x so I had to merge my diabetic diet

requirements with my chosen pregnancy diet and in order to do that, I had to

double-dip a lot.

Here is an article I found about bone health. It was just published last month.

Re: Food/Drink

Calcium is critical for those who are on Pred. When I started pred. My

doctor had to help me find a calcium pill I could take and not throw up.

Plus I craved cheese, so that helped some, but when you are partially

lactose intolerant you have to be careful how much dairy you eat.

For me calcium is one of those minerals that is difficult to balance in my

body. I get more calcium than my body utilizes then I get calcium deposits

(bone spurs) in my joints, especially my knees. Yet my doctors want me to

get enough calcium so that I don't end up with osteoporosis.
