Health food stores and various online vendors are excellent resources for such products. As an example, we only drink almond milk in our household. I also frequently use coconut milk. I understand that this challenge (avoiding milk and whey) may appear very difficult at the moment. But with a little practice and research, I'm confident you'll find suitable replacements for the foods your daughter enjoys. Many parents in similar situations have succeeded in doing so. Be well!

An exception might be if your diet is already abundant in magnesium-rich foods and not top-heavy in calcium. People with poor kidney function are also advised to consult with their physicians prior to supplementing with added minerals such as magnesium. Magnesium citrate, glycinate and taurinate are examples of well absorbed magnesium chelates. Be well! JP Mark,

Is there one type of magnesium better absorbed by the body?

SCORE!!!! it all went well... i think a healthy gut plays a HUGE role in constipation and milke sensitivity!!!!!!! i thought i was lactose intolerant, and always constipated when i ate dairy, as well as having my face break out.
