I do OK with the Citracal products (calcium citrate, plus D, plus magnesium). I spread the pills out during the day--take them with meals.
Start with one pill a day, and work up to whatever you need (I take 5 per day). It can be done.
Also, get the soy and rice milk drinks that are "enriched" with calcium--that should help. Some studies show that women who eat less red meat metabolize calcium more efficiently--so the IBS diet should be good in that respect.
Are you taking any of the meds like Actonel or Evista? They help with osteoporosis, as does weight-bearing exercise.
