Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 thanks everyone for all your advise on the calcium supplements. my 3 year old son, who is on a gf/cf diet, hates all vegetables, i'm going to try to blend up some broccolli and add it to his applesauce. green applesauce, what do you think? i get him to eat carrots by adding a jar of baby food to his applesauce. will not take pills and chew on gummi bears. he actually doesn't like candy and will push it away. he didn't eat chocolate or cake or anything sweet before i put him on this diet. (certainly doesn't get that from me,lol) the calcium in the orange juice is a good idea but the diet says no citrus for the first few weeks. i was looking into 100% cranberry juice by ocean spray, it has added calcium but also added sugar. he can't have that either. i might try the powdered calcium another member recommended. i knew you guys would come through for me. thanks lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 What about calcium fortified orange juice. I don't know if it falls into the GFCF diet, but it is a good alternate source of calcium. So is brocolli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Lori, I read one of the posts that said that almonds have calcium. I don't know if your son eats peanut butter, but we have switched to almond butter and they love it. I checked the almond butter jar and it says 8% calcium. The Skippy jar says 0%. We switched because our nutritionist said to avoid things with peanuts because they may contain mold. The first day I wanted them to try it, I said that Disney World sent us a sample of Mickey's favorite peanut butter. They believed me, and that way they didn't freak out that it tasted different. Just a thought, on something that would be an easy substitution (unless of course, he is allergic to almonds!)

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hmmm I had heard carrots were one of the #1 for calcium. The answers are already within us. The tricky part is matching them with the corresponding questions. -----Original Message-----From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of SuzanneSent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 9:22 PMhealth Subject: Sources of calcium World's Healthiest Foods ranked as quality sources of:calcium Food ServingSize Cals Amount(mg) DV(%) NutrientDensity World'sHealthiestFoods Rating Basil, Ground 2 tsp 7.5 63.40 6.3 15.2 very good Greens, Turnip, Cooked 1 cup 28.8 197.28 19.7 12.3 excellent Thyme, Ground 2 tsp 7.9 54.16 5.4 12.3 very good Spinach (boiled, with salt) 1 cup 41.4 244.80 24.5 10.6 excellent Oregano, Ground 2 tsp 9.2 47.28 4.7 9.3 good Dill Seed 2 tsp 13.4 66.69 6.7 8.9 very good Greens, Mustard, Boiled 1 cup 21.0 103.60 10.4 8.9 excellent Cinnamon, Ground 2 tsp 11.8 55.68 5.6 8.5 very good Collard Greens, Boiled, Drained 1 cup 49.4 226.10 22.6 8.2 excellent Kelp 0.25 cup 8.6 33.60 3.4 7.0 good Rosemary, Dried 2 tsp 7.3 28.16 2.8 7.0 good Parsley, Fresh 1 oz-wt 10.2 39.12 3.9 6.9 good Blackstrap Cane Molasses 2 tsp 32.1 117.53 11.8 6.6 very good Peppermint Leaves, Fresh 1 oz-wt 19.9 68.89 6.9 6.2 very good Chard, Boiled 1 cup 35.0 101.50 10.2 5.2 very good Yogurt, Cow Milk, Low Fat 1 cup 155.1 447.37 44.7 5.2 very good Lettuce, Romaine 2 cup 15.7 40.32 4.0 4.6 good Kale, Fresh, Boiled 1 cup 36.4 93.60 9.4 4.6 very good Mozzarella Cheese, Part Skim, Shredded 1 oz-wt 72.1 183.06 18.3 4.6 very good Celery, Raw 1 cup 19.2 48.00 4.8 4.5 good Milk, Cow, 2% 1 cup 121.2 296.70 29.7 4.4 very good Cloves, Ground 2 tsp 14.2 28.40 2.8 3.6 good Milk, Goat 1 cup 167.9 325.74 32.6 3.5 very good Broccoli (pieces, steamed) 1 cup 43.7 74.72 7.5 3.1 good Seeds, Sesame 0.25 cup 206.3 351.00 35.1 3.1 good Fennel Bulb, Sliced, Raw 1 cup 27.0 42.64 4.3 2.8 good Cabbage (shredded, boiled) 1 cup 33.0 46.50 4.7 2.5 good Squash, Summer, All Varieties 1 cup 36.0 48.60 4.9 2.4 good Green Snap/String Beans, Boiled 1 cup 43.8 57.50 5.8 2.4 good Garlic 1 oz-wt 42.2 51.31 5.1 2.2 good Tofu, Raw 4 oz-wt 86.2 100.00 10.0 2.1 good Seeds, Mustard 2 tsp 35.0 38.92 3.9 2.0 good Brussels Sprouts, Boiled 1 cup 60.8 56.16 5.6 1.7 good Oranges 1 each 61.6 52.40 5.2 1.5 good Asparagus, Boiled 1 cup 43.2 36.00 3.6 1.5 good Mushrooms, Crimini, Raw 5 oz-wt 31.2 25.52 2.6 1.5 good The above chart shows the World's Healthiest Foods that are either excellent, very good or good sources of this nutrient.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Vitamin A is derived from beta-carotene, and carrots are the leading source of this substance in the american diet.
