Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

@charleneb Since my post mentioning that I am lactose intolerant, my lactose intolerance has disappeared! It was triggered by my immunosuppressants and now is gone. One day I ate something without remembering to take a Digestive Advantage pill (they helped if I didn't have too much lactose) and I had no reaction to the lactose in what I had eaten so I tried adding more and more and more and no reaction! In the process though I discovered Fairlife Milk. It is lactose-free and their skim milk is ultra filtered causing it to be richer tasting than regular skim milk. I don't like regular skim milk but this is more like 2%. Plus, it has more calcium and protein than regular milk, due to the filtration. I highly recommend it.

I usually buy lactose free with 1% fat. I agree it tastes richer than regular 1%. I recommend it for other reasons too. While it is usually close to double the price of regular milk, it last so much longer in the frig. I buy it at least a month ahead and it saves trips to the store so long as it isn't opened. Really nice in the winter.

Just a reminder to others considering it: Because it has no lactose it does NOT make great pudding unless you want pudding you can drink. I tried making tapioca repeatedly with it and would have to overcook it to get it to thicken. I finally read about how it won't thicken. I use regular milk for it now and after heating it I don't seem to have a problem. I also keep low fat dry milk packets in the house so I can make pudding without going to the store.

I have had other health issues in addition to osteoporosis over the past years and being able to have plenty of reasonably healthy food in the house is a very good feeling.
