Please help - Daughter refusing to drink

[Guest guest]

Hi All;

My daughter has been refusing to drink for the past week. She is severely

autistic/non-communicative. Normally drinks out of a sippy cup. Eating o.k.

She will not drink anything upon waking. She will not drink anything when she's

at kindergarten (goes full days 2-3 days/week).

Very distressing. I have had to syringe feed her liquid (takes 1/2 an hour to

get 1/2 cup liquid into her).

She is dairy-free SCD low fruit. She had been drinking distilled water with no

problem. I have added diluted SCD legal fruit juice in order to intice her, but

she won't willingly drink unless the juice is almost full strength (and then

only a few sips).

Please help. I'm very upset.

Kim.
