My sister was on over 100mg at one point; she lost all her teeth eventually. I'd look into seeing if calcium supplements help.
I was anemic, underweight, and malnourished. They wanted to yank out my colon. I got my life back via a strict diet and I haven't had a symptom in 8 years. PM me if you have questions.
