Wondering how much calcium is the minimum I can get away with without doing myself harm. Firstly, I'm lactose intolerant so I have no dairy other than lactose free milk. Even with that I feel some stomach discomfort and anecdotally lowered libido (I've read lactic acid is bad for libido but don't know if that's true). I used to drink a couple cups a day but now I have less than a cup, just enough to go into my morning shake.
Beyond milk I have tried calcium supplements along with other sources like stinging nettle tea. Any of those things cause me horrible constipation. And it's not just the brand/form when it come to supplements. I tried a wide variety.
So basically I have a bad relationship with calcium, but I know my body needs it. I'm not sure what to do next.
