help with calcium fortified foods

DD is milk allergic. She refuses any and all soy milk. She will eat soy cheese and used to like Soy yogurt, but is now refusing the yogurt too. She will not drink OJ. What else can I feed her to ensure she's getting calcium?

Re: help with calcium fortified foods

My son is milk allergic too. I make sure that every single juice he drinks is calcium fortified - orange and apple. I use Tropicana with Calcium and Vitamin D, since the D helps the body absorb calcium. Apple and Eve Apple Juice is fortified. I am less of a stickler about him drinking juice since he needs the calcium. Last summer he started asking for lemonade so I let him have minute maid juice boxes which contain a little extra calcium

Teddy Grahams are fortified with calcium.

Have you tried switching from soy to enriced rice milk? I prefer the flavor myself, but the problem I had with that was it made him very constipated. He now drinks dari-free from www.vancesfoods.com which contains calcium and is potato-based. I still use rice milk for cooking and dari-free for baking.

My ped, allergist, and dentist were not overly concerned about the calcium, but I was...so I just try to look for things that have some extra. Unfortunately most soy stuff doesn't provide a lot of calcium...it stinks. I know a lot of people use calcium supplements, but you have to be careful about the source of the calcium - that it's not dairy based. I don't use them.
