Vitamin D & Calcium Sources for Lactose Intolerance & Milk Allergies

Vitamin D and calcium sources for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergies

For people who have trouble digesting milk (lactose intolerance) or are allergic to milk, there are several other ways to get vitamin D and calcium. Here are some good sources:

- Vitamin D:

- Fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines)

- Fortified foods (such as milk alternatives, orange juice, and cereals)

- Sunlight (the body can produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight)

- Calcium:

- Dairy alternatives (such as fortified soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk)

- Calcium-rich vegetables (such as kale, broccoli, collard greens, and turnip greens)

- Beans and lentils

- Nuts and seeds (such as almonds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds)

- Calcium-fortified foods (such as tofu and cereals)
