Hi @mayblin. I really like Kefir which has 390mg per serving. I also eat calcium fortified cereal, which has 200mg in a serving, so with milk it’s like 550-600mg just in my morning cereal. Sardines with the bones in has 200mg per can; calcium fortified orange juice has 375mg per serving (but a lot of sugar, so I drink 1/2). Plus dark green veggies, Greek yogurt, cheese (one stick of part skim string cheese has 150mg); even some breads have 50mg per slice. I love dairy so I do have an easy time getting my calcium, but I understand that not everyone can consume that much (or any) dairy.

I haven’t talked with my doctor about treatments yet. We will probably discuss the post-Tymlos strategy after my 3-month bloodwork comes back. I will ask about Evenity and Reclast.

Thank you very much for your suggestions! Like you, I get calcium from food and had been heavily dependent on dairy. After discussing with my doctor, we both felt it may be a good idea to diversify a bit from food other than dairy. Unlike you, I can't have too much carbs due to my insulin resistence so fortified food may not be a good choice for me. Veggies, bone-in fish are good idea, thank you! These days I felt like I almost need a daily log to keep track calcium intake.

Keep us posted re: your doctor's choice of lock in agents, ask rational of his/her choice too. Best of luck to your treatment!
