Too Much Calcium

[jennyjoan]

Sister has too much of the above. She is an extremely poor eater and all she can think of she eats cheese. Would she have to give this up as basically she will live on toast and tea

What is the doctor doing about it? Too much calcium isn't necessarily caused by diet, it is more often due to something going on with the parathyroid glands.
She needs proper medical advice.

As barry has pointed out in his post, your sister's high calcium has almost certainly not associated with her diet.

Thanks for your answers. Will let her know today

[Peter Pedant]

if she has a high calcium, it can only come from the doctor ( the report level not the calcium !) and he should be acting on it.

not that common in old people

There are a few illnesses that can cause high calcium, and all of them need investigating fairly urgently. Why did she have the blood test in the first place?

How do you/she know she has too much calcium?

[jennyjoan]

Blood test via her doctor
