besides being gluten-free my son and I are also casien free too. We went for his check up and the doctor was concerned he isn't getting enough calcium(we drink calium fortified oj but not nearly enough to count as 1 serving). Can anyone give ideas how to get calcium into him and what calcium rich foods to give. He's not a veggie eatter besides occassional carrots and he does not like to drink Rice,Soy or almond milk yet.

I'd also be interested in trying a Gluten-free Casein-free calium suppliment too if someone can recomend one that is not a gummy bear.

We use Nutrition Now Rhino Chewable Calcium. It does say for 4 years and up.

We've used the soft chews (also by nutrition now) but those have soy so we don't use them anymore. I believe they are ok for younger children.

I would think even one chewable would be fine if it was crushed up for a younger child. You could contact the company. They got back to me very quickly when I wrote asking about ingredients.

      @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I'll be reading slower in future so I don't skim over the subject matter. Cheers.

      @N00dnutt, as OP explained earlier, she had a gastroscopy done earlier while she had been eating plenty of gluten for months. It was negative despite strong positive antibody scores.

      The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
