Thank you so much! Very thorough and interesting testing. I’m getting all my calcium through dairy too now, but discovered I was lactose intolerant. I wonder if I should consider a comprehensive stool test. I’ve most of the other tests, except Ntx. I have no estradiol at all and would love to go on HRT. I had no idea you could test for a propensity to blood clotting. I’m going to save this email and reread it on Monday and perhaps find a naturopathic doctor here. I’m cooking Easter dinner for 20 people tomorrow! But such an informative response! Thanks again!

Hi Lynn59!
I'm lactose intolerant too but drink milk sometimes that's lactose free but as of yesterday, I have eliminated it from my diet and only consuming hard cheese (swiss, cheddar), yogurt or plain kefir. Unfortunately my mom had a blood clotting disorder first discovered in 2013 as the clots would travel to her lungs. She was on warfarin first, then Elliquis. Sadly, this past Fall she passed as a result on not being able to tolerate anticoagulant medicine and had her on home hospice for 3 months. I'm still mourning the loss of my mom, then getting a diagnosis of osteoporosis in January and more recently being attacked by a dog that I know. Several puncture wounds and bites throughout both my legs! And I started taking Teriparatide this past week. I'm a nervous wreck! Good luck with your Easter celebration. I'm going to go over my sister and brother in laws so I don't have to cook. Just eat!
