Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 How old is your son? We used the Oraflo pill cup and taught our kids to swallow pills. For the really large ones, we cut them in 1/2 or 1/4. As far as the diet is concerned, that's a toughy. I have a very picky 6 year old and 10 year old, so I'll be curious to read the advice others give you.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Jasmin, I crush the pills and " sandwich " (NOT mix!!) the powder in about a tbsp. of non-dairy frozen dessert, then follow with a water chaser. I guess the cold numbs the tastebuds and hides the bitter taste. We tried the OralFlo cup and it didn't work for us, but Marcia Hinds, whose son is recovered, taught her son to swallow pills using the frozen dessert to help the (broken-up at first and gradually increased in size) pills slide down the throat. We plan to try that this year. HTH, Donna > > > > > From: Jasmin <jazzmeron@...> > > Subject: Grocery List > > > > Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 11:51 PM > > Hello!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Jasmin, I get " Aunt Hatties " white bread at Sam's club. You can use Mocha Mix, mixed with water for a milk substitute. They also sell tofutti soy cheese. Over time the diet does get easy. Good luck, Argie On Jan 20, 2009, at 11:51 PM, Jasmin wrote: > Hello!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 My son likes sourdough bread, so I usually get that at Costco or Trader Joe's (it has no dairy, no high fructose corn syrup, and low or no yeast).
