Pediatricians still require lactose intolerant children to be exposed to milk and other dairy products. This specific food group is principal for young ages because it brings Calcium and Vitamin D. However, if these food items cause kids to abdominal pain, flatulence, or other symptoms of lactose intolerance, then dieticians suggest calcium-fortified cereals and orange juice as substitutes. Soy milk and lactose-free milk products are also available in groceries. Cheese and yogurts are moreover among the dairy products which contain less lactose. Lastly, good luck in making your children eat them though, but high in calcium vegetables like spinach and brocolli are also recommended.
