Dietary calcium: Unfortunately your question does not mean much without age, weight, and many other issues. Regarding dietary calcium, that should be readily available for you in many stores. It would be a good idea for you to see a dietitian!

Many available: Soy and almond milk are made without lactose, sharp cheddar cheese has lost most of its lactose as it is made. The OTC calcium tablets and such things as Tums, including the chewable wafer form can be used as a calcium source.

Consider Tums (calcium carbonate): Each Tums (calcium carbonate) extra strength provides 600 mg calcium. Two a day will provide you calcium need if you have no other source of calcium. Consult a dietician.
