Have you tried dividing your calcium dose and taking it with your meals? It is better absorbed with food.
Yes, non0dairy can be difficult - you just need to seek out other food sources like dark leafy greens, sardines (if you can eat them), etc.

Yes, my supplement is 500mg for 2 so I take one late morning with almonds or a snack, another with lunch, then 1or 2 more later with dinner.
I don't think I'd like sardines but am trying to have more calcium rich foods. I put on 5lbs with extra cheese/beans etc but it's okay. No more than that though or I'll feel "off".
I don't mind eating salads or broccoli (starting to get sick of it though) and kale etc. I love nuts and fruit and oranges which have calcium.
