I found this site.. it's got an online calcium calculator where it lists the

calcium in certain foods.. You can pick and choose through these to figure

out, based on age, what foods will get you your daily intake.. Looks like

salmon and sardines are very good sources of calcium, but there are lots

others listed.. I hope this is helpful to you..

Thanks, . Those are good sources. I am questioning the orange

juice, as it was my understanding that the calcium in orange juice

actually isn't the kind to be absorbed properly. I also know that leafy

green vegetables have calcium, and didn't miss out on that discussion, but

she'd have to consistently eat a lot of leafy greens to count on that for

the daily requirements. I have and have read 's book, but just

because one person writes something in a book doesn't answer all my

questions and assuage all my concerns, though I respect 's input and

have found her book very helpful. The beans are a good idea but could

cause more gas. Thanks for your suggestions. If somebody can clear up

the confusion as to fortified orange juice I would appreciate it; I have

heard it both ways on this list and have definitely read in other sources

that this isn't helpful.
