Dawn, I would like to reiterate what has been said previously on this list, and that is that cow's milk is meant for baby cows, not humans. Milk is very mucous forming (even for those not allergic) and very little of the calcium in milk is available for absorption by the body. Blood tests for calcium are not reliable. The body "borrows" calcium from the bones in order to keep the calcium level in the blood constant. I, too, had a blood test for calcium some years ago and it turned out "normal." Yet before I reached age 40 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis through a bone density test. Have you had a bone scan to determine bone loss? Part of my problem was lack of digestive enzymes, so in spite of eating a very healthy diet and taking supplements for years, I was literally starving to death for lack of proper digestion and assimilation. Back to the calcium -- I've had trouble taking calcium supplements most of my life, but I don't have any problem with calcium citrate. I get mine from a chiropractor in Virginia. The brand is Thorne Research and it states on the label: "This hypo-allergenic product is provided in pure capsule form to eliminate the need of binders, excipients, coatings or other ingredients which may be detrimental to the user. Thorne Research products are available exclusively through physicians." Susan -- suz
