Lactose Intolerant - Other Sources of Calcium Posted: 02-06-08 13:58pm


I have been lactose intolerant since I was 13. I love ice cream and cake, and so I purchase over the counter lactaid pills. My doctor recommended me to drink lactose free milk, which I do, because I am lacking in calcium. I was wondering if there are other sources of calcium (in food) in which I could consume to boost up my calcium intake without having to resort to taking lactaid pills and calcium supplement pills?

You can always drink the calcium fortified orange juice. I thought it would taste nasty, but it doesn't taste any different than regular orange juice. It must be hard being lactose intolerant. I love ice cream and I would hate to have to take a pill to enjoy it! There are quite a few foods that are higher in calcium that are lactose free and I found a link that will help you with it h ttp://www.dfwnetmall.com/veg/plantfoodshig hcontentcalcium.htm

I've tried orange juice but most calcium fortified orange juice are lacking in vitamin D, which is required for the body to absorb calcium. Thank you for the other list though. It was very helpful.
