s/o dairy free
What kind of nutritional value do those items give you. Like I never get enough calcium and have to force myself to eat yogurt,cheese, milk etc. If I were to go dairy-free, how would that affect my calcium levels?

Re: s/o dairy free
Aidan is allergic to casein (a milk protein) so he can't eat dairy. His pediatrician said that you can get calcium from many dairy free items (ie soy). I found this site to be really helpful.
It's not so hard. A LOT of foods are rich in calcium. People seem to zoom in on milk because of all the commercials telling you that milk has calcium to help bones. Surprisingly though, milk protein is difficult for most people to digest, and the calcium gets lost in what the body can't digest. However, you can get enough calcium by eating alternatives. Try adding kale/spinach/swiss chard/collards, broccoli, almonds (or almond milk.. super yum), oranges, papaya or celery to your diet. And when you go for a bagel, opt for sesame! Those little seeds have a good amount of calcium!Also try tahini dressing on your spinach and celery salad.
I'm lactose intollerant, and I don't eat much meat, so I look for alternatives on how to get the nutrition I need, But seriously having a good portion of spinach or broccoli every day will help keep your calcium up.
