Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 thank you for writing again!!! Will he drink any of the calcium fortified orange juice? One of my sons will and one won't. You can also cook with calcium. It is a mineral. The citrate (or other non-carbonate form) would be better because it won't hinder digestion as much. NOW sells calcium citrate in bulk and it is super cheap at the health food stores. So if you may muffins or pancakes or even cookies or cakes you can add this in. If you bake meat with a sauce or coating you can add the powder to this. You could also put it in the rice or mashed potatoes. Maybe add a little more salt. Animal Parade had a calcium my kids liked. It is chewable. Brainchild Nutritionals has a liquid cal/mag that has a faint coconut taste that you could drink direct or add in whatever " milk " drink you son takes. There are some liquid calciums at the HFS too, but I don't know how they taste. Maybe you could cook with those too? Hope these ideas help. .

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 -sensitivities that extreme almost always mean that there's a gut inflammation and/or an untreated infection. Check to see if he's got a yeast/bacterial overgrowth in his intestines, or try a little Ojibwa tea of Life(essiac tea) if you're unable to do the tests. Fat soluble supplements such as CLO and primrose oil can be rubbed on his skin-they will absorb:). Once you have addressed the underlying issue, he will be able to eat many more foods.
