Re: Snacks/Dosing Suggestions

[Guest guest]

I like this technique. We may have to add it to the Mixing/Dosing

File. Up until the last year, I've had to use a syringe for giving

almost all medicines. The only caution would be not to wait too long

after starting the meal to give him the enzymes. I'd try as close to

the first few bites as possible.
