Do they absolutely HAVE to have no dairy? My first-grader is lactose intolerant but he can handle a little bit of cheese, yogurt or ice cream. The doctor said this is the case with many lactose intolerant children. There is an amount they can handle. But no seconds for him on those things!!

Do make sure that if they must be completely dairy-free, that they eat a lot of high-calcium foods like broccoli, or have calcium-fortified OJ.
