Q: Do you have any suggestions, or ideas on where to go, for a calcium supplement for a 1-year-old child? It has to be totally dairy and soy free (not even traces of soy). He needs a bit more than he’s getting due to his switch to almond milk and we are at a loss, […]

  • Cathy - How about a good bone broth? My kids love it.

  • Our Family Is His - Well, you are just awesome. Thank you so much for this! Most people just scratch their heads at whole foods and natural foods places due to the many requirements we have for Calcium. I will check this out, thank you again!ReplyCancel

  • Kim - just to play devil’s advocate, many many ASD kids have a lot of trouble with supplemental calcium because it is an excitoxin. We use bone broth and other good food sources of calcium….ReplyCancel

  • Kim - just to follow up, dairy is NOT one of those food sources we rely on … there are lots of others and processed dairy in particular is not great for anyone(pasteurization and homogenization destroy the good stuff –enzymes etc.– in dairy!) (we do a little raw dairy sometimes — much healthier)ReplyCancel

  • Our Family Is His - Love the quote!!!!

    Totally OT, but do you have any suggestions, or ideas on where to go, for a calcium supplement for a 1-year-old child? It has to be totally dairy and soy free (not even traces of soy). He needs a bit more than he’s getting due to his switch to almond milk and we are at a loss, especially since it needs to either go in his milk or be tasty enough to get him to swallow it. So, no pills or chewables will work. Ideas?ReplyCancel

  • Anonymous - Tahini, ie. hummus. Crushed sesame seeds are a great source of calcium!ReplyCancel

This has been a tough month for our family health wise because both my kids were sick. My son had the flu and a high fever for six days. It was at the point where the doctor was calling us to make sure he was okay. My daughter had strep in January which was resistant […]

  • Our Family Is His - Ah yes, the sickies. We have had them since our oldest son entered his special preschool. Sigh. Literally, someone in this house has been sick since 11/5/08. It’s not been little runny noses either. However, due to really educating myself, we have gotten to stay out of the doctor’s office almost completely and when we did go it was no antibiotics but to get help with a symptom that was just unmanageable.

    My youngest has developed even more allergist/intolerances. We are now seeing cow’s milk, soy (even tiny traces), any type of wheat or oat. Yeah. At least that last one is easy for us around here. But he, unlike his brother, can’t cheat or the red cheeks come and it just gets worse.ReplyCancel

  • Betsy - When we lived in Germany our pedi always did the finger prick before giving antibiotics. I like knowing that we were not giving meds that were not needed.ReplyCancel
