Cheese & calcium

Postby Corsi » 09 Oct 2008, 08:21

If cheese is constipating and we have to stay away from it.....how will we get the calcium we need?
It is so important to get enough calcium, especially for us women.....
I Image cheese!

Yep-I'll remove the second one for you. Just thought you were being adamant.
I get most of my calcium from soy products. I think and use dairy in moderation. Vitamin D3 is very important for bones too. I take 2,000 mg of that a day. I don't supplement with calcium because it is constipating, but I do need to get a bone scan done because with all the steroid use, inactivity and limited diet I am at risk. Have you had one done?

Hi,
I love :D the Yoplait Yo plus+ Vanilla yogurt. It is yummy! It is especially good mixed with the Fiber one caramel delight cereal and little whipped cream and fruit!! It is my favorite dessert, snack or breakfast. I just looked on the carton and unfortunately you only get 15% DV calcium, but you do get 3 gms fiber. Cheese may not be too bad if you also add more fiber. Fiber One Carmel delight gives 10% Calcium and 9 gm fiber in a 1 cup serving. I like to snack on these by themselve also, they are very good.
:bla:
I don't get enough calcium so I was happy when my Dr. ordered a bone scan test this summer and it returned normal. I also have had some steroids and a lack of hormones!

Oh there are many sources of calcium beyond cheese!!! I'm sure a google search on "Calcium-rich foods" will give you a great start, along with calcium supplements.
Cheese in moderate to small amounts should be OK, Corsi, but I would stop after a bite or two. I get most of my calcium from soy milk. And supplements.

here's a quick blurb on what macrobiotics has to say about other sources of calcium-rich foods that are not dairy:
Calcium?
A common misconception is that the macrobiotic diet does not provide enough calcium because it does not include milk and dairy foods.
The diet is actually very rich in calcium as it includes:
Seeds, including sesame seeds which has about 14 times more calcium than milk.
Seaweeds, which typically have 7 to 14 times as much calcium as milk.
Green leafy vegetables, which are also rich sources of calcium.
The calcium in these foods are also more readily absorbed by the body than the calcium in milk. Plus, these foods do not create problems normally associated with milk and dairy foods - prolems such as increased risks of female-type cancers among women, respiratory problems like asthma and allergies.
