What Can My Lactose Intolerant Kid Eat?
Make sure that your children and teenagers get the calcium they need, especially if they experience lactose intolerance. There are plenty of nondairy foods that are high in calcium. Green vegetables, such as broccoli and kale, and fish with soft, edible bones, such as salmon and sardines, are excellent sources of calcium. And kids may be able to have yogurt as well, because yogurt with active cultures is a good source of calcium. The bacterial cultures used in making yogurt produce some of the lactase enzyme required for proper digestion, so this is a great calcium option for your kid.
