Can someone help me please??? I have osteoporosis (diagnosed)and am not absorbing my calcium chewables. They have 700 mg of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, and magnesium with Vitamin D in each chewable wafer. I chew 2 a day at different times. Thats 1,400 total miligrams of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D a day. But since I have irritable bowel, my stomach and intestines are not absorbing properly. Is there another way to get more Calcium in my body other than the veggies, and other foods I eat daily????? When I take calcium now, I get constant kidney and Urinary trac infections....my doc told me it was because the calcium was building up in my body in one place...and not absorbing correctly. Can anyone relate to this? thanks in advance for your response.
