Osteoporosis and pouch

I was diagnosed a few years ago with it. I get infusions once a year with “ reclast”.  its once a year for 5 yrs and I’ve already seen a significant improvement from my 2nd infusion.
It’s very important for j-pouchers to take calcium & vitamin D, back in the 80’s & 90’s I could never find any that agreed with me, always made me I’ll. Now you can find allergen free everything.
Not enough calcium & D can also affect bone loss in your teeth.

What are the vitamin D and calcium supplements that work for you?  What are the allergens you deal with?  I think I have a problem with dairy and many supplements (including the revered VSL#3 probiotics) are dairy-based.

My allergies are egg and intolerance to dairy. I take a multivitamin “Naturelo One Daily multivitamin for women and Andrew Lessman Ultimate Calcium intensive care with vitamins D3 & K2MK-7 120. This combination seems to work for me.
I can not take probiotics, it has the total opposite effect on me

Thank you!  I also have issues with dairy. I wonder if it's just the milk/lactose or if that extends to the bones of the cow?  I also am experimenting with collagen powder.  I don't seem to have a skin allergy to cow leather, so I assume I'm ok with other cow parts, but who knows?
