You are right, making sure I get enough calcium has been an issue for me. I have spent a lot of time researching this. I find that rice milk is fine for me. My Whole Foods store sells "juice box" sizes. This works out great for me because no one else in my house will touch it!(although they have never tried it, it's really pretty good.) I always felt bad if I didn't finish a large container before it got old. This size is perfect for recipes, or cereal and it is very convenient for traveling. You can also get calcium from legumes, almonds and brazil nuts, crab, greens, salmon with bones, orange juice plus calcium, sardines, and many breakfast cereals are fortified with calcium. There are also several "calcium chews", like Viactiv on the market. I just started taking a calcium/magnesium supplement with my meals after reviewing my options with my doctor. The magnesium has also improved my IBS-C as an added bonus! Always make sure you check with your doctor before adding a calcium supplement because everyone has different health considerations. If you do decide to add a supplement always take it with meals. artist
