No, they are not the same. Medical food may have vitamins in it, but it is intended for nutrition, just like real food. The difference is that medical food is designed for a specific diet of what the person is not allowed to have in their diet while they are sick, such as no solid food for a liquid diet.

What foods contain calcium and vitamin D?

Cod liver oil contains large quantity of Vitamin D. Other fish liver oils also probably contain vitamin D. But then other food in your daily life including dairy products contain very less quantity of vitamin D. You get it from ultraviolet rays of morning sunlight. Unless given supplement, most of the people are having sub-clinical vitamin D deficiency, probably. Regarding the calcium, you have enough of the same in many foods. Milk and milk products and custard apple are good source of calcium. But without vitamin D the calcium will not be absorbed from your intestine.
