Regarding your comment “ My blood work done 3 weeks ago showed a normal calcium level”, your bloodwork should ALWAYS show that your calcium is within the normal range. If it doesn’t, you need to have your parathyroid glands checked.

A blood calcium level within the normal range doesn’t mean that one is getting enough calcium from one’s diet, it simple means one’s body is working properly. When you don’t get enough calcium from your diet, your parathyroid gland releases PTH to “find” calcium (PTH stimulates your bones to release calcium into your bloodstream) to keep your blood calcium within the normal range.
