I was diagnosed recently w/severe osteoporsis, t-score -3.5. I have gastroparesis and wasn't eating well but was told I had to increase calcium & VitD through food if possible. I do small amount of dairy, but also added Boost (380mg), Bok Choy and Kale, canned salmon and canned sardines. I get 1200mg a day w/a combination of these. There are lists of other foods including druits (figs, etc) that you can find online and try to incorporate a few of these. Dr said not to consume more than 500mg calcium at any meal, spread through day & that works better for my digestion. Just a suggestion for your journey.

Thanks, @altonagirl Since my original post my lactose intolerance has disappeared! I do get pretty much all of my calcium through food now. I drink Fairlife Skim milk which is "ultra filtered" to concentrate the calcium and protein so it is higher in those nutrients than typical milk. I have oatmeal most mornings for breakfast and I make it with the Fairlife skim milk.
The other bonus to that is that it really does not taste like skim milk, more like 2%.

Protein is also very important for osteoporosis, bones are half protein. My endocrinologist suggested about 6 prunes a day. I do often track my nutrients with myfitnesspal to make sure I am getting what I need.
