Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 We mix it with cream cheese on a bagel and in peanut butter sandwiches Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® [ ] Nutriveda questions I bought Nutriveda for my apraxic son, he is 3 1/2. I tried to give it to him this morning first in pudding, no go... he threw it up. Then in a milk shake, again... threw it up (he has a gag reflex as soon as he doesn't like something). Then in his milk, which he took two sips and was done. Any other ideas on how I can get this into him? He is not an applesauce or yogurt eater, doesn't like chocolate at all, so vanilla is our only choice. My husband thinks it may be a texture thing with him. Amazingly he has always taken the fish oil without a problem. Should I try to ease him into it? I did a half a scoop, but am thinking we need to work up to that (thinking out loud here) to desensitize him. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Some kids do not like the texture[mine did not until I used a blender] or the taste. Maybe you can premake the shake in a blender with his favorite juice. You can spoon feed him the shake just like fish oil. One spoon at a time.....without forcing him. Start with 2-3 spoons in a day...then increase it. Its hard work...but might help him ease into it. Just a suggestion. sowmya > > I bought Nutriveda for my apraxic son, he is 3 1/2.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't know how much is in a scoop, so this may not work, but, your local pharmacy should either carry or be able to order empty capsules (and they are pretty cheap). You could put the powder in those, and if he takes the fish oil caps, he should take those without a problem. The ones I have seen are either clear or white in color, and are the same capsules other medicines come in. If there is a lot to a scoop, maybe do half this way and half in his milk so it wouldn't be as much of a texture thing? Hope this helps! From: nschwarz@...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sorry, I missed these posts what is Nutriveda exactly? A supplement? Is it gfcf? Just wondering.
