Looking for some advice on how I can get adequate calcium from sources that are non dairy, not supplements, and not nuts/seeds or greens.
I know I have severely limited the options there to say the least, but all of those things make me constipated. I'm lactose intolerant so I typically drink a small amount of lactose free milk a day (Maybe 6 ounces). I recently went down the rabbit hole of trying to increase my lactose free milk which lead to added constipation (I tend to get constipated very easily) so next I tried almond milk as an option for using in my morning shake, but after three days I was severely bloated and constipated. Any type of nuts always cause that reaction. I've even tried soaking them overnight then baking to make them more digestible but didn't help. Next I tried oat milk but same bloating and constipation result. I think with the non dairy milks all of the added vitamins and minerals just mess up my digestion.
In the past I also tried all forms of calcium supplements, which all lead to bloating and constipation within a day or two.
I also tried kale previously, but same result. All cruciferous vegetables result in that though.
Not sure what else is left. I would prefer to just avoid calcium altogether but obviously that's not a healthy choice.
Looking for an easy option I can consume daily and not get bloated and constipated.
Appreciate any helpful advice.
