As all of you know, after 1 1/2 years, I have severe and chronic constipation. I also have severe osteoporosis (dang that anorexia). So, I the doctors insist I take calcium.

Calcium is very constipating and hurts like heck! Osteoporosis doesn't sound too fun either. So, do I suffer worse now or pay the consequences later?

Is there any way to take calcium and not get more constipated? (Yes, I take it with Magnesium....still the C). Anyone that can help? How do I choose between my mental health (C drives me insane) and my physical health (broken bones, hump back, and bone pain?????

What would you do? What has been recommended to you who may be in the same situation????

I was also prescibed a medication for osteoporosis, but the pharmacist said it it worthless if I don't take calcium as it needs calcium to work. Is this right?

I'm desparate, people...as usual.
