My son has rickets and his alp is quite high. as we are strictly vegan, what kinds of food can i give my 2 year old?

Type of rickets?: If his rickets is dietary he needs calcium and vitamin d. However there are other forms which require different treatment, and you need to know what kind.

Vegan and Rickets: This is a challenge- there are few vitamin d enriched foods other than orange juice and some grains. A vegan diet excludes dairy, eggs, fish that are great sources of vitamin d. Sunlight exposure to make vitamin d is inadequate to treat rickets. Key to connect with a pediatrician or pediatric endocrinologist for optimal treatment.
