how do you get your calcium?

I need ways to get more calcium, my educator at my OB says its really important that I get as much calcium as I can, but I don't know how. Milk always makes me sick even if I eat it with cereal I feel sick after. She suggested yogurt I tried it and I thought I was gona puke, it just made my stomach turn. The only thing I can think of is pizza but that's kind of fattening and she says technically I'm obese, yea I'm an athlete and 5'11 but oh well lol... So any suggestions? Or do I just have to suck it up and drink the milk and also do you think chocolate milk would be ok?

I took calcium pills when I was pregnant along with prenatals and a DHA pill..

my doc has me on citrical...

So they have pills you can take, I think I'm going to have to do that then because I'm feeling like I'm out of options

That leaves you cheese...and no not cheese pizza!! Calcium supplements are good too.

Cut back on caffine too cause it leeches calcium from babies and your bones.

yea I got my prenatals from GNC the one in the box its a month supply comes with prenatals, calcium, and DHA pills..u have to take 2 prenatals 1 calcium and a DHA everyday...I got one of those pill containers the weekly ones so I didnt have bottles of pills in my bag lol

I take a Citrical petite twice a day in addition to drinking a few glasses of milk.

If you can't take a calcium supplement for some reason (and you should be eating calcium in addition to the supplement) other foods rich in calcium are almonds, broccoli and soy (like soymilk).

Sounds like ur lactose intolerant if milk gets u sick, take the pills instead

Dairy isn't the only form of calcium.

LOL darn I was hoping for pizza!!!, I ate nachos the other night does that count? Haha. But thanks I think I'm gonna talk to my educator about getting the supplements they sound like something I can keep up with better (sorry I can't quote people so I just answered you both lol)

Yea my mom is lactose intolerant too and I thought that was it but wouldn't it have been since I was little? Milk barely started making sick about 6 years ago. And thanks for other foods you guys suggested

i cant drink milk either, so my babys doc told me to go buy some calcium pills, which can be bought anywhere, and she said since i dont drink any milk at all, to take two pills a day..
