@bustrbrwn22 I use lactose-free milk, 2%, tastes great. Also, I've found lactose-free cheddar cheese, yogurt, butter, cookies. It's all out there at the grocery stores and all tastes just fine. I also take Calcium 650 mg and am going to ask my doc for a Vitamin D prescription, since I've read it aids in the absorption of the calcium tablet. I also was on Alendronate for a few years and an planning to request it's return to my list of "must haves".
