Hi sunnyflower, it wasn’t me (migizii), but thanks for the advice! I usually take my morning calcium an vitamin d with full fat organic plain yogurt, so I’m doing well there. I usually have something with Virgin olive oil at dinner, so I think most of the time it’s helping - but this will certainly serve as an excellent reminder to do this as I seem to have difficulty holding onto calcium sometimes. Take care😊

I am very disappointed in doctors' who fail to sufficiently explain how osteoporosis works and how to take calcium. it was a couple of months after I was diagnosed before I discovered that the body can only use 300 mg of calcium at a time. Any more than 300 mg will be flushed out in urine. No one tells us about boron or any of the other supplements. Tums have 300 mg of calcium in every tablet. My latest discovery (on this list? I don't remember) is that melatonin helps build new bone. I searched on Medline and indeed there are a number of articles on this topic. My endocrinologist has a dietician that I guess he refers his diabetic patients to. Why does he not refer his osteoporosis patients to her? Maybe she doesn't treat osteoporosis patients?? I had hoped to find one who would know all these well kept secrets and help me develop a diet specific to my needs. No luck with that.
