Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

@lilypaws before I stopped taking calcium I think it was calcium carbonate tablets and that was what gave me the most trouble. Then I tried the Viactiv calcium chews which were a little better but not much. I've got a cabinet full of Miralax, Metamucil and a generic brand and go between those and a bottle of stool softners which help but I don't think it's really good to take them that often. I will have to try the calcium citrate to see how well that goes. I also just bought a yogurt maker, some BioGaia Gastrus Chewable Tablets and some Organic Inulin Powder to help make the yogurt from a recipe by @LeeAase -- https://social-media-university-global.org/2020/05/best-yogurt-ever/. I just have to make the time to do it 🙂

Glad to hear you took the plunge, John. Once you get the hang of it it only takes about 10 minutes to mix the yogurt (and then you just wait 36 hours for it to be done.) Totally worth it!
I had major constipation until my Neuro put me on taking my Sinemet with Apple juice. Seems it utilizes more of the med faster- and helps the constipation a lot. Ask your doctor.
@johnbishop Do you realize that prunes are recommended for osteoporosis also? The recommended dose is 6 a day. I tried that but went from my general state of being bound up to the opposite so I am experimenting with just how many I can eat without it being a problem.

Try incorporating chia seeds and flax seeds into your diet.
