You're quite welcome.

On Heather's diet, dairy is practically at the top of the list of forbidden foods and for me she's quite right that it's not just lactose that's the problem. I took Lactaid until it was coming out of my ears and it didn't really help.

I do urge you to take calcium somehow. You look quite a bit younger than I am and I wish now that I'd listened to all the research that says getting calcium in your teens, twenties, and thirties really helps when you get older. I don't have osteoporosis, but I do have the precursor condition and I watched my aunt suffer greatly from osteoporosis.

As for the Vitamin D, my orthopedist told me to take 800 IU with 1500mg of calcium (split up into two doses), but that much Vitamin D seems to bother me. (No one believes me about that - apparently Vitamin D doesn't bother anyone else in the entire world.) I currently take a multi-vitamin first thing in the morning that gives me 400 IU of Vitamin D and I'm tolerating that fine. I take 1500 mg of calcium, split into 3 doses - supposedly the newest thinking is that your body can't absorb more than 500 mg at a time.

* 800 IU of Vitamin D didn't give me D (tee-hee). It just gave me a hair-trigger temper. Weird. -nt-
