Thanks so much @teb. I feel much better about cutting out my calcium supplement. I, like you, am tempted to add a supplement when I am afraid I'm not getting enough, but it probably isn't needed. It is interesting that the World Health Organization recommends 500 mg and the United Kingdom 700 mg of calcium per day. It seems to be recommended everywhere that getting calcium from food is better than from supplements.
@teb I also cannot eat dairy and have a lot of food allergies. I take 800mg calcium in a day. Curious what foods get you to 650-700mg daily. I eat a lot of broccoli. Wish I could eat salmon and almonds.
