Every type of calcuim supplement that I've taken in the past has caused butt burn/diarrhea REALLY fast.  I have osteoporosis and I know that I must take something to help.  

Any advice please? 

 

P.S.  Please don't advise Prolia shots.  I've had 4 shots which is 2 years worth and the side effects are awful.

I just had an infusion of Reclast. This is given once a year for osteoporosis and once every 2 years for osteopeni. It was recommended by my rheumatologist since I was already having major acid reflux, and the weekly dose of Fosamax I had used previously causes acid reflux and she didn't want to add to what I was having. Seemed like great option though they say you may feel bad for one day, though I did not have any issues.

BTW, I needed the supplement due to being on 40 mg Prednisone for extended, unknown length of time.
