i just read the article on soy in the last issue of mothering and i'm a little worried. i'm lactose intolerant (as is my dd) and we drink soy milk almost every day. Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing calcium and protein and still having something as yummy-licious as soy milk?

Try Rice Dream Enriched rice milk. Same vitamins as the soy.

For calcium you could try calcium fortified orange juice.

Rice milk is a little more watery & less creamy than soy milk. You may also want to try almond milk if you don't care for the rice milk. I haven't tried the almond milk yet myself, but maybe someday.

Hard cheeses are usually not an issue for those of us with lactose intolerance.

Between the calcium in enriched rice milk, fortified orange juice, a Viactiv chew, and a bit of cheese in your diet, I'm sure calcium will not be a problem.

Remember to get some sunlight for vitaminD and weightbearing exercise too.
