title: I am 51 years old, perimenopausal, have irritable bowel syndrome and a family history of breast cancer, and am told my bones are thinning. These conditions would seem to rule out my use of estrogen or Fosamax. I weight train and take 1,500 mg of calcium a day to stave off osteoporosis. What's left?
