Not too much calcium. And high doses of D vitamin helps to balance calcium of the body. Lots of liquids to avoid kidney stones if the treatment is with calcitriol and interferon gamma.

I was told Calcium was bad for me since I make too much. I did find that the Vitamin D is not a good thing to have. This promotes calcium absorption to the bone. Funny as it sounds, I drink Mountain Dew since I was always told the soda slows down bone growth. A typical healthy diet full of vitamins and nutrients are good. Do not avoid Calcium rich foods because the body needs it elsewhere. Just don't eat loads of calcium rich food all the time. A glass of milk here or bowl of ice cream there is not bad for you.
