Snippet on Being Casein Free
Sugar was a problem, so we cut out as much of it as we could. Milk was bad because it has casein, which has a sort of doping effect (reportedly) so we cut it out almost completely. But cutting out milk means that we have to give Gus calcium supplements, most of which, ironically, are made with milk. Enter: the Gummies. Yeah, we give him candy-calcium. And now he’s figured out how to open the not-so-child-proof cap. Half a bottle the other day; seven today by the time I caught him. Is it possible to overdose on calcium? Maybe we should just give the kid some cheese and forget about it.
