Dietary calcium in galactosaemia
The diets of 19 galactosaemic patients were assessed for calcium and phosphorous intake. Despite the use of infant soya formula or calcium‐supplemented soya milk the reference nutrient intake (RNI) for calcium was only met in 26% of the group; all patients met > 100% of the RNI for phosphorous.

Summary: | The diets of 19 galactosaemic patients were assessed for calcium and phosphorous intake. Despite the use of infant soya formula or calcium‐supplemented soya milk the reference nutrient intake (RNI) for calcium was only met in 26% of the group; all patients met > 100% of the RNI for phosphorous. The regular assessment of the diets of galactosaemia patients is recommended as the milk‐free nature of the diet can lead to an inadequate calcium intake. Lactose‐free calcium supplements should be prescribed if the diet alone is inadequate. |
