As I have only one kidney I cannot take any of the drugs for osteoporosis and have been trying various things for years to no avail. However, last year I found out I was deficient in vitamin D, probably for years, and have been taking massive prescription doses since. Also, I have added inulin, a soluable fiber that may enhance calcium absorption. I've been taking lots of calcium with constipation being the only noticible effect. The inulin counters this side effect and may help the absorption. I have hopes that next year at my density test I will show some improvement. And don't forget exercise!View Thread
