Lactose intolerance at increased risk for osteoporosis?

I'm lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk. I put soy milk in recipes, but don't drink it. Could I be at increased risk for osteoporosis? I'm only 27, and do take a calcium supplement.

Yes, you are at increased risk, and even more so if you are white. Keep taking the supplement and talk to your gyno about it at your next visit. You can also get calcium from dark, leafy greens. Also, there are several foods now with calcium added from orange juice to margarine.
