Re: Calcium - Are my kids getting enough?

Is your youngest nursing? 3-4 nursings a day provide plenty of

calcium. Also a well made bone broth will give a lot more calcium

(ounce for ounce) than milk will so that is another option.

If doing SCD correctly, it is highly nutritious. We were on the diet for 6

months before getting K's calcium/vitamin/mineral levels tested. EVERYTHING

came within normal limits! Although, I am not a big fan of testing due to

the inaccuracies. Jenn & Kali 9 months SCD

Molly take it easy with the spinach. It is high in oxalic acid and can irritate

the tummy. Can

she eat cheese? A hunk of Italian Parmigano Reggiano is a good calcium filled

snack.

How about yogurt smoothies with honey to sweeten and some fruit. My

kids like theirs with honey and ripe banana.

All dark green leafy vegetables and dark green vegetable (spinach, broccoli

etc...) are naturally high in Calcium and are balanced in the other minerals

that are needed for good bone formation. You can puree these foods and hide

them in sauce to help kids comply! Look at the green iguana, they do not

eat/dairy and have good bones eating a balanced iguana vegetarian diet. Dairy

is not needed in our " human diet " , unless you are certain that it is tolerated

and without behavioral or physiological consequences. When our kid's refused

the yogurt, we trusted that this might be their inner intuition about food

intolerance, and did not press the issue. Every time we have " made them eat "

something they refused they got sick in some way. We now listen to them and

some of there refusals. None of our kids get dairy in their diet, and they have

good bones by eating lots of dark green vegetables and other foods high in

calcium. We have an award for eating " good and healthy " = No honey if you don't

eat your greens. If you do need a Calcium supplement make sure that it is

starch free, gluten free, etc and SCD safe.

Almond have a ton of calcuim in them as well. My little girl hasn't had dairy in

over 4 years

and is the tallest in her class and has never had one cavity. The calcium in

greens and

almonds is actually more bio available than that of cows milk anyway.
