I'm lactose intolerant so I didn't really consume much dairy for a long time. Now I'm starting to recognize the importance of calcium, again, so I'm drinking lactose-free milk now. Its still not totally suitable for me, so I'm hoping to find other sources of calcium (and whatever else that dairy products have in obscene amounts).

I just got some soy milk to try. It tastes ok, something I can get used to. Still, I'd like to integrate other sources of Ca into my life, preferably vegan/vegitarian since I'm considering trying out those diets later.

Thanks!

I'm also lactose intolerant. Leafy green vegetables are a source of calcium, especially broccoli. I love steamed broccoli & eat it several times a week as a side vegetable or in stir frys.

I don't take any calcium supplements but I do still eat some cheese. My dietician
advised me that all low fat cheeses contain lactose but that cheddar/tasty cheese is ok to eat as the actual process of making this type of cheese gets rid of the lactose. I've found that this seems to be true for me as I don't suffer any ill effects after I have eaten tasty cheese.

Veggy smoothies

loads of raw brocholli, avacardo, spinach with pear n apple to mask that raw savory taste. Maximum goodness. Sky's limit with those

^ Thank you both for your responses. I'll start to integrate more of them into my diet.
