Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 He doesn't want any brown rice used and the rice milk is made from partially milled brown rice. According to the company, this makes it mostly to all white rice. But he wants us to change. I think what it comes down to is that he is not happy we are still gluten free. But our girl is doing incredibly well, a big part thanks to him, so I'm trusting his opinion about this. At 08:22 PM 2/27/2009, you wrote: >-Can I ask why Dr. G wants you to stay away from rice milk.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 We use soy milk for cereal. As far as calcium is concerned, the only thing we can do is supplement. It's not ideal but better than nothing.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 The kids don't need calcium supplements. Don't let that be a concern right now - it isn't necessary, and Dr G will monitor his calcium levels at every lab. Too much calcium may even be a negative - I can't remember how it was broken down for me a long time ago, but there seems to be a calcium channel defect in autism, and the way our bodies process it probably isn't correct anyway. It is totally against the mainstream paradigm that a certain amount of calcium is crucial. If you really really feel like your child must have enough calcium, making homemade broths from chicken bones and beef bones that you let boil for hours (with an acidic starter like a tsp of lemon juice or vinegar that you soak the bones in with water for half an hour before starting to boil) will provide calcium and good cooking too, and may have some gut healing properties.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It helps me to think that mother cows are not designed to drink milk... they get all of their calcium from their veggies.

Robyn, Dr. G told me a long time ago that we don't need to worry about the calcium level in boys. I never supplemented Calcium.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Dr G said to me boys don't need much calcium too much gives them stones. Jerri > > The kids don't need calcium supplements.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 My kids loved almond milks as well and we had to give it up.
