Re: calcium recommendations for a sensitive for a baby?

January 4, 2006

There is powdered calcium that she can add to any drink she makes for him,

including juice. You can add up to 500 mg at a time into a drink and it

won't taste chalky. That's what I used to do for my daughter when she was

too little to swallow the horse pills.

I would give her baby 800mg per day in two doses 12 hours apart. The body

can only use 500mg at a time.

She can get Kirkman's powder online.

he has different types of allergies, some anaphylactic, some cause severe

bleeding rashes, some cause bloody stools, some cause gas and digestive

problems. I don't have a complete list but he eats a modified scd with out

eggs, nuts, diary or fruit. Can't handle any grains or starches, Pork is a big

problem. Dried beans don't work, tomatoes, all fruits cause instant eczema

rashes. Lately he has been able to have honey in small quantities. Drawing a

blank on the rest.

Thanks.

I was thinking maybe Almond milk, but if he is off nuts, I guess that wouldn't

work. I know Vance's is potato based, but I don't knwo what else is in it.

Sorry I coudl be of more help.

potatoes/starches are disastrous (same for my son). Thanks anyway.
