Osteoporosis and its treatment have a lot of conflicting information involved I think...some docs don't do bone markers for example, some do, bisphosphonates as first treatment, some choose anabolic instead, some send you to PT, some just suggest exercise with don't jump, don't lift too much and yet some say high impact, lift a lot of weight, some do basic CMP bloodwork, some do more complete (like a 24-hour urine testing for calcium I believe among other tests). Then there is DEXA...with TBS or without, REMS some say good test, some say don't do it. Then there are supplements...Calcium how much, Vitamin D or D3 and how much, Boron, magnesium, vitamin C for collagen and the strontium debate. Then there is nutrition - enough protein, what about collagen addition, protein powders, etc. And if you have any other issues, it does get real crazy. I have avoided dairy for years on advice of my gastro (IBS) but my endo said to up the dairy for calcium plus a 1200 calcium supplement.

I have had to stay away from dairy and have instead substituted with yogurt made with sheep milk. The calcium in sheep milk is higher. A 6 oz. container has 390 mg which is 30% of daily value. I also eat feta cheese and I use almond milk when I need to add any milk to a recipe. For other calcium, I use Algecal Plus from algecal.com which has 360mg of calcium, and Osteoporosis-K from NBI which has 500mg calcium, vitamin K2 as K2 and MK4.
@jozer Yes, the whole thing is madness. I opted for Liftmor and increased protein/calcium diet. Declined all medication. I've never been happier.

You managed to encompass pretty much everything I have experienced and it appears many others have as well based on what I’ve read on this forum. So much confusion…you almost laid out what should be basic testing protocols…have you ever tried lactaid instead with calcium. I had a problem for several years that required I see a specialist…it took a few but I finally got a great one. No anything with “…ose”
No lactose, fructose, etc. after two years plus of horrible intestinal pain (ie like molten glass going through) I was better within a couple weeks! He wrote a book and now many gastrointestinal docs are or should be aware of the “fodmap” diet.
