Calcium is so easy to get today.
I use Lactaid milk with extra calcium.
Hubby uses OJ with calcium.
Yogurt has 400mg /cup (both of us have 1 cup a day)

I use Maalox multisymptom quick dissolve chews. There is also one without the simethicone. (the simethicone helps with gas and I need that for my twisted GI tract). Both Maaloxs have 1000mg of calcium carbonate in each quick dissolve tablet.

These are quite inexpensive now at WalMart. Less than $5 for a large bottle.

If you keep your Vit D optimal I think this helps with calcium absorption, and less is wasted. About 75% of calcium comes out in the stool. It is thought this helps prevent colon cancer.
