A vegan diet contains more calcium than an typical ominvore diet. Consuming milk actually makes bones weaker, because it raises blood acidity and to compensate, the body pulls calcium out of the bones to bring the acid ratio down. 1 cup of cow milk = 300 mg calcium. 1 cup almond milk = 459 mg calcium and it is more easily assimilated by the body than the calcium in cow milk. All green leafy veggies contain calcium as well. Other vegan sources of calcium are molasses, tofu, soy milk, and calcium fortified orange juice.

Can you have tums if you are lactose intolerant?
Lactase taken at the start of the meal allows you to eat all the dairy you want without the gas or cramps associated with lactose intolerance. Tums would only be useful as a calcium supplement it does nothing for the stomach cramp that come from lactose intolerance. I developed lactose intolerance over that last couple years and have had symptoms from extra gas to cramps that last all day. Tums did not help at all. Now that I take lactase with a meal containing dairy I can gorge on pizza without the slightest hint of gas or stomach rumbling. Lactase enzyme is a inexpensive over the counter supplement available at the pharmacy. They are easily the best choice we have compare to cramps, forgoing dairy or buying the more expensive lactose free products.
