Re: Nutriveda freezer cookies

[Guest guest]

Awesome!!

I was pondering how to make something like this but couldn't quite wrap my brain

around how to make just a few cookies and not waste the NV.

Thanks so much for this

and I got some of the more bitter NV.

(no real changes yet, but I'll keep her on it for a while) and she was decidedly

unenthusiastic about eating it, so I came up with this recipe I thought I'd

share for others who are having trouble getting their kids to eat it.

you should have seen surges by now with a few weeks on it. I mean first of

all I have to tell you this recipe is amazing and you clearly are the type of

parent that we need with a creative flair for cooking to help us with this

page!!! http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html So I want it to

work for your child too!! I'm going to add this up there if it's OK and call

them Momma 's NV freezer cookies

OK so how much 'have' you been getting in a day? Has it been at least a full

scoop would you say? How does your daughter like the cookies and would you say

she would be able to get the full dosage in now? Also is she drinking enough

water? I'm asking because it seems like it's working across the board and I

want to see it work for your babe too!! This is a great page to compare notes

with as even though it typically starts with speech right away -you may notice

things in some of the other areas too http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html

Let us know! And again...what a great idea with the cookies!!!

Yay thanks for posting this. I mod'd it a little to use hershey's syrup

instead of the maple syrup and m & m's instead of chocolate chips and it tastes

like a reeses peanut butter cup. My son ate it right up, something that has

been eluding me for a while. thanks again for sharing

I may have spoken too soon about not seeing any changes. The past couple of

days I may have seen some subtle ones. I say " may " because I often convince

myself that I'm just imagining things, when the changes aren't super-obvious.

She's been chewing on things a lot, which she hasn't really done in a while, but

it could also be because her baby sister is teething and she's mimicking her. I

think she may be attempting more language, also. It has sort of presented as me

not knowing what she's talking about more, ironically, but I think that's

because she's spontaneously attempting more words, instead of just repeating or

saying the same old things that are easy for me to figure out. For about a year

she has been actually talking quite a bit, like all day long, lol, but her

pronunciation is horrible (strangers can hardly ever understand her), and her

vocabulary is limited, and she's often just repeating what she just heard,

instead of doing her own word retrieval. She has said a handful of things in

the past couple of days that I've been surprised she's come up with. Along with

starting the NV, she's started getting much more speech therapy, as well as more

Craniosacral therapy, which has helped her in the past. All of these things are

happening due to some funding I received.

As far as getting enough NV into her, it's tough. She likes the cookies all

right, but they're quite filling, so she'll sort of nibble on them throughout

the day (I keep putting them back in the freezer then pulling them out again),

but one cookie only has 1/2 scoop, so I make 1 cup of smoothie that has 1

slightly heaping scoop in it, which I have to coerce her to drink throughout the

day as well. Between the two things I have been getting 1, maybe one slightly

heaping scoop into her, but it's a struggle. She's 3 1/2 years old and 34

pounds. I can't even imagine trying to get 2 scoops into her. When I look at my

calendar I can see that she's only consistently gotten a scoop a day for maybe a

week and a half .. I started June 30 but got very frustrated with trying to get

her to eat it so backed off for a while.

I assume she's drinking enough water, she's always been good about drinking

throughout the day, and her poops have been regular.

So I'll just pay close attention in the next week and let ya'll know, thanks,
