Hmm, Tex - sounds like I should drop to 1 pill a day then. I probably don't need that much calcium anyway - my family history shows no signs of osteoporosis.
Thanks for the counsel.

Deanna,
The countries with the highest calcium supplementation rates have the worst osteoporosis problems. IOW, we can only utilize a certain amount, and anything beyond that may be counterproductive.
You're most welcome,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
It's water soluble, but not fat soluble. However, fat is soluble into calcium. This means that dietary fat is absorbed from the chyme and combined with calcium to form a foamy substance which cannot be absorbed by the body, so the compound is flushed out of the body. In effect, this removes unabsorbed fat from the system. Unabsorbed fat is a well-known cause of diarrhea (steatorrhea). This is almost surely the reason why calcium helps some people with MC to reduce or eliminate D.

You know Brenda with Nestlé it's never been anything but me being the service person, but what an absolute honor. A sign would be a nice touch. We really do need to fully appreciate our animal friends and what they mean in our lives. I'm not sure where I would be today without Nestlé as she has shared her unique ways these past 5 years.
You know as much as we value the interactions with our doctors (if they are trusted) and our human friends, there are times I find the connections we have with our animal friends to be just as, if not more important. Nestle has been the truest friend through a tough divorce and many other challenges. At times I wonder where I would be without her....truly she has earned the Nurse Nestlé title. Wearing a sign to that effect would be an honor. Besides she is an absolute nut, lots of fun and loves the attention
I could readily accept more friends like her.
Thanks for pointing this out Brenda.
Along the lines of friendship, next week the 'New England chapter' of PP will have the chance to get together. Jenny has graciously taken it upon herself to organize and put together a chance for her, I, NancyL and her husband to get together for great dinner at a MC safe restaurant.
Thanks in advance Jenny for setting this up
It truly is like a family here...thanks to Tex and all of the other PP members for contributing to the sense of family here, it really does make this a special and unique place.

Joe,
My husband & I share our house with 2 black cats & a border collie mix. Sadly we probably are in the last days with the dog, Lucy. We adopted her from a local no-kill shelter about 15 years ago. She had been dumped as a puppy and was in bad shape by the time someone found her. They almost put her down. Lucky us she was allowed to live. We got her when she was almost a year old. She has shared many camping trips with us and is the sweetest dog. She prefers staying outside but we have to bring her inside if we have a storm close by. We put her in the utility room behind a baby gate. Once in there she lays down & goes to sleep. You can hear her snoring all over the house! She can't hear or see very well but she still knows when the storms are getting close. Animals senses never cease to amaze me.

Brenda, it's great you gave Lucy and great home, a chance and a family to live with. I know what you mean by snoring sounds. Nestle if she takes a big deep breath while sleeping will make a snoring sound. She usually sleeps with her 'brother' a big 22 pound Maine Coon cat named Skittles...another spoiled member of this strange 'family' in NH.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
