Good evening . I’ve very recently been diagnosed with lumbar osteoporosis T score 2.8. My GP recommended Alendronic acid but is checking with Moorfields eye hospital to see whether it contraindicates with my glaucoma. My main concern is that I’ve also been prescribed theiCal-D3 which I am taking . Using your food calcium checker I realise that I get a lot of calcium in my diet ( @ 950 mg ) . I’m worried that I am now taking in too much calcium daily causing potential future problems..
Hi @Smilyeileen ,
We just wanted to pop in to thank you for sharing your post here. As you note, calcium is an important topic and if it would help to chat through things further, we’d warmly welcome you to get in touch with our specialist nurse osteoporosis helpline.
We also hope other valued members may be able to drop in to share their experiences. Please do keep reaching out here whenever you need, and thank you again for sharing with the community 
Wishing you all the very best,

Hi, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis this week and also have concerns about alendronic acid. I was also extremely upset as I’ve been working so hard to preserve bone density through diet and exercise. I chatted to one of the nurses through the helpline and she was so fantastic - spent a lot of time with me, far more than a GO would - and has made me feel much better. I’d so recommend calling. Good luck
