] Dangers of soy products? needing calcium

[Guest guest]

*

There is a product called Vances Dari-free non-dairy milk substitute that

has 30% of the r.d.a. of calcium in each 8 oz. glass of it. Then

multivitamins have some calcium, if you cook with the dari-free then

thats more calcium. Tropicana has an orange juice plus calcium that has

35% of the rec. daily in an 8 oz. glass. Almond butter (LJ - my son- is

allergic to peanuts) has calcium and also amaranth flour is a souce of

calcium, and if you do decide to go on this diet you can do baking with

amaranth flour. Pinto beans and kidnet beans are also sources of

calcium, but I don't know the % value.

As far as ice creams there are sorbets which are GFCF and also soy free.

My son has an allergy to soy so I use these sorbets for him. LJ is 6 and

loves every meal and dessert that he gets.

Try and see if you can get a copy of " Special Diets for Special Kids " by

and it will explain so much about this diet.

My son is med. free and suppl. free except for multivitamins so I can't

answer any of questions in those areas. Good luck in everything with you

and your daughter.
