1. I started having a lot of muscle pain last week so I googled calcium deficiency symptoms and, sure enough, there it was. That's one of the down sides to eating dairy free. One of the other symptoms was flaky skin so I wonder if that helps explain my scalp flaring up. After taking my calcium supplements for a couple of days the muscle pain went away. So I guess I just learned the hard way how important calcium is! For anyone who is doing dairy-free and doesn't know, a nutritionist told me to take 600mg of calcium twice a day, but not with a multi-vitamin or anything containing iron or zinc, since they reduce the absorption of the calcium.
2. A friend of mine with a new baby told me about a remedy she read about somewhere for baby rashes. It said to put breastmilk on the rash instead of a lotion or cream. My friend did that with her daughter and saw dramatic change overnight! What a simple and safe way to help baby's skin!
