Thank you for your comments. They were helpful. Do you know if high calcium in urine also means high calcium in blood test? Or can you have one or the other?

Good afternoon @leeosteo. Unfortunately, I do not personally know the answer to your question about calcium. I had real digestive difficulty with a daily supplement and ended up with high calcium. So I talked with my PCP and here is what we figured out. She gave me a list of other ways to ensure sufficient calcium. I tried some of the suggested foods and was concerned about the reaction to other medications. I also found the sugar-free plain yogurts to be pretty tasteless. So my current solution is simple: Chobani makes a Zero Sugar "flavored" yogurt with calcium. I then add Fairlife non-fat milk with 30% of the daily dose and recommended fruits. I end up with at least 60% of my daily calcium goal and find the rest in dinner with salmon and high-calcium veggies.

PS: I sneak in iced yogurt bars for a treat in the evenings. Don't tell anyone!!!!!!!

Hope this gives you a headstart. What have you been using?
