Can completely avoiding milk products lead to a calcium deficiency?
No. Most milk alternatives are calcium enriched. If you follow the rotation diet and include legumes as part of your nutrition, a calcium deficiency should not develop. Broccoli also contains a high amount of calcium. When a higher need of calcium exists, it is recommended to take a calcium supplement with your meals. Look up chapter 2 of your Patient’s Manual where you will find a list of calcium-rich foods.
