Naps pregnant and you have lactose intoleranceIn addition to letting your doctor know, you should know how to replace the necessary calcium intake that you cannot provide through milk, since it is dairy products that are considered the best source of calcium.
Depending on the tolerance of each pregnant woman, she will be able to meet the needs of calcium with dairy products, such as yogurts or cured cheeses, which after her manufacturing process convert lactose into lactic acid, so that they contain very little or no lactose, or through plant foods, which although they do not allow total calcium absorption due to substances such as oxalates or phytates, are the alternative for the contribution of this mineral. You can find soy derivatives in the form of milkshakes, which if they are enriched in calcium and vitamins A and D, their contribution to the body can be very similar to that of cow's milk. You can also consume other products derived from soy, such as tofu, curds or soy yogurts, but you must always read the labels of the products to check the nutritional composition.
