Calcium requirements for children
Children need calcium for growing bones. Calcium requirements vary by age. This website lists daily calcium requirements for children. Dr. Marshall advises people with Th1 inflammatory disease to get no more than their recommended daily allowance with a combination of both food intake and supplements. See Calcium Fact Sheet
Sources of calcium
Milk is an excellent source of calcium but it is problematic because in many countries it is hard to find milk that is not supplemented with vitamin D. And all milk naturally has some vitamin D. The amount will vary depending on the fat content of the milk and what the animal who gave the milk was eating. As a result, any milk product will also have some level of vitamin D, although it may be low.
Drinking small amounts of milk not supplemented with vitamin is okay but no one can say exactly how much. It's a good idea to recheck the level of 25-D at six month intervals to make sure too much Vitamin D isn't being ingested.
Sources of Calcium without Vitamin D
A good milk substitute (although rather sweet) is the packaged 'creamy vanilla' ready-to-drink high protein shake by Advantage. It goes well with cereal. You can find them in six-packs at your local Kroger or Wal-mart. Check the label periodically to make sure vitamin D has not been added.
Lots of foods are good sources of calcium and don't have added vitamin D or folic acid. Here are some:
Almonds
Beans - many types, including baked, limas, chickpeas, kidney
Brocolli & leafy greens
buttermilk if no D is added
cheeses (check the label for added Vitamin D)
cottage cheese (read the label)
cream - usually sold as whipping cream
half-n-half
orange (the real fruit, not the juice)
sesame seeds
sour cream
yogurt
When cooking, you can use half-n-half without D instead of milk.
Calcium supplements
Ideally, all of the daily calcium should come from food but if the food calcium intake falls short, it is okay to supplement with a calcium tablet that does not contain Vitamin D. These can be found at most stores that sell vitamins. See Do I need to take a calcium supplement?
