Re: so frustrated! Nutriveda... need help!

[Guest guest]

My kid is not a fan either! It is a struggle to get 3/4 scoop into

him ( he should be getting 2scoops/day). Pudding so far has been the

only way and I have to dress it up. ( I add nestle choc syrup and

peanut butter to mask the flavor). Then there is sometimes other

bribery involved. No favorite TV show until pudding is eaten. So

many bites of nutriiveda pudding earns a bite or 2 of favorite food. I

saw one parent said they mix it with milk (or a milk variety) and put

it in a syringe. This may be my next tactic. I agree it is

frustrating!!

Hang in there!

Are you saying you only used the nutriiveda and milk to make the " chocolate

milk " ? Most of us doctor it up a wee bit more than that. While not all kids

need too much -keep in mind the sugar in the nutriiveda is quite low and it is

filled with healthy stuff -and we know that not all kids like the taste of

healthy- at least not the average who is exposed to Mc Food.

First of all don't force it -and don't you fear -there are tips to help.

So far in the survey you'd be shocked how many parents are serving the

nutriiveda in Popsicle form. How to do that? Make a shake and then freeze it

in one of those do-it-yourself Popsicle freezer thingies. Keep in mind that

most of us DO add something else to the mix other than water and some form of

milk with the nutriiveda. Not saying you have to add Nesquick or anything (some

do and it still works -but something. And if added to pudding perhaps don't

mix in the full dosage -just a bit and gradually work up. That is probably the

key. The taste grows on all of us on it to the point you crave it whether you

care for it or not to start. Some love it to start but I'd say most don't love

it -they will doctor it up a bit and then love it. I looked up how to get kids

to take medicine and how to get kids to drink milk (as there are so many

different versions) for tips. Keep in mind children switched to special diets

frequently have to be pulled off of a food or drink they enjoy to one that they

don't like. Over time- given the chance -they can learn to love the switch.

Below are the 2 articles I found that I think have some great tips!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is some good news. Even though kids may not be getting enough milk in

their diet, they are consuming more and more of their milk calories from lower

fat options like skim and 1% milk, and less from whole milk. This helps them get

plenty of vital nutrients—protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin D,

vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin C—and less total fat and saturated fat. So how

do you help your kids improve their beverage selections? Here are some ways to

help your kids milk their diet in the most heart-healthy way:

1. Make a gradual milk switch. Although whole milk is appropriate for infants

and toddlers to support their growth and higher fat needs, the American Academy

of Pediatrics recommends reduced fat (2%) milk for children between 1 and 2

years of age who are at risk of becoming overweight or have family members who

are overweight or obese, or have high blood cholesterol levels or heart disease.

When children reach the age of 2, parents can offer low fat milks; if after a

few tries your child doesn't like the taste of 1% or skim milk, you can mix

whole or 2% milk with 1% or skim milk—this can help kids get used to the thinner

texture of the lower fat milks. Since there's no difference in terms of

nutrients between organic and regular milk, either option can help kids meet

their nutrient needs to help them grow optimally.

2. Meet the milk quota. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend the

equivalent of 2 cups of milk per day. 1 cup of skim milk or plain non-fat

yogurt, 1-1/2 ounces of hard cheese, or 2 ounces of processed cheese all count

as approximately 1 cup of milk. If your child likes the taste of flavored milks

and yogurts, they too count towards their milk quote. Because they have extra

calories also count towards discretionary calories (these are calories kids can

have from added sugars and fats in the diet; most kids have between 150 and 200

extra calories to play with). If you give your kids flavored milk or

sugar-sweetened yogurt, be sure to count those extra calories (and perhaps skip

a cookie or other sugary treat later in the day).

3. Find other options. If, for whatever reason, your child can't or won't drink

milk or have any calcium-rich dairy foods, be sure to offer him or her other

several calcium-rich food options each day; these include white or navy beans,

spinach, kale, cabbage, tofu, canned pink salmon or sardines, canned stewed

tomatoes, and calcium-enriched foods and beverages such as orange juice, whole

grain English muffins, and soy milk.

4. Limit liquid candy. Of course it's ok to let your child have more than just

water (though water is the best, lowest calorie, all around great hydrator) to

quench their thirst. If kids like 100% fruit juice like orange juice, they can

have some (no more than 1/2 cup to 1 cup/day is ideal); it counts toward their

daily quota for fruit. But sugar-sweetened beverages including soda, fruit

drinks, and energy drinks need to count as discretionary or extra calories, and

should be viewed as once-in-a-while treats rather than dietary staples.

How to Get a Child to Take Medication With a Smile

They can make it taste like grape soda, melt on the tongue and go down as easy

as sugar. But some children just don't like to take their medicine. When parents

are worried about a sick child, the added stress of getting them to take their

medicine several times a day can be overwhelming.

Parents can use rewards and other techniques to help a child take his medicine.

Communication can be key. Parents have had some success in taking their time,

explaining the need for the medicine and even talking about how it works and why

it tastes bad. The more information a child has, the more likely he is to get on

board and take his medicine.

Give Your Child Control and Choices

A child is more likely to take his medicine if he has some control. A parent can

ask a child, " Do you want to take your medicine when you first wake up or right

after you brush your teeth? " " Do you want to take the purple medicine first or

the red? " Allowing him to make some small decisions about how he takes the

medicine will make him feel like he's in control and not being forced.

Parents should always supervise a child taking medicine and be sure it's taken

with or without food and at the prescribed times of day. Limit your child's

input to the small details.

Be Generous With Rewards for Taking Medicine

Clapping, praising, a big hug and a Hershey kiss go a long way with a child

who's just taken his medicine. The rewards for taking medicine can be small but

special; something that a child will look forward to each time he takes his

medicine.

Parents Take Medicine Too

When a child has to take medicine, he may be more willing if he sees that his

mom and dad are taking their medicine, too. A parent's medicine can be a daily

multi-vitamin or any medicine a child can see his parent take. Explaining to a

child that everyone has to take medicine sometimes can help him understand the

need.

Reduce Bad Tasting Medicines

There are ways to eliminate or greatly reduce the bad taste in medicine.

• A child can be taught to hold his nose while taking bad tasting medicines.

Followed up by orange juice or apple juice, by the time he unplugs his nose, the

bad tasting medicine will be gone.

• If a child sucks on an ice cube for a minute or two before taking medicine,

taste buds are toned down quite a bit by cold and medicines don't taste so bad.

• Mixed medicine with yogurt, V8 Splash Smoothies, or any thick fruit flavored

drink can mask the flavor of most medicines.

What Not to Do

• If a child is prescribed pills and has a problem swallowing them, don't open

capsules and mix the contents with food. Check with a doctor before crushing

pills and mixing with food. Some medicines are time-release pills and should

only be swallowed whole.

• Don't assume that all medicines can be mixed with any liquid or food. Some

medications should not be taken with food or are rendered non-effective if mixed

with certain foods. Check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing medicines

and food.

• Don't strong arm a child or physically force him to take medicine. The next

dose will be impossible to get down and you'll have lost his cooperation

• Don't trick a child into taking medicine by mixing it in with food. It's

difficult for a parent to ensure that the entire dose has been taken. And

children want to feel they have control over what they're eating.

By using rewards, making medicine more palatable, and letting a child have some

control of how he takes his medicine, a child's medication can be a positive way

to get through an illness.

I agree with the second of these articles, " Give your child control and

choices " . This style works well for my son, who will not accept Nutriveda at

all.

-I give him " mock " choices: Do you want your Nutriveda before breakfast or

after?

- I only mix it with 4oz of milk substitute..this way less to get into him.

-With one scoop and 4 oz. it ends up being about 10 syringes.

-I make a countdown list...10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, DONE !

-after every syringe, he exerts some control becuase he crosses out the number

in dark black Sharpee marker.

-He knows there is an end to this " torture " I am inflicting on him & he becomes

more agreeable. One day, I hope to move it into a cup where he can take 10

sips...but for now syringes are successful.

I feel it is worth it for now. We are just two weeks in, but the other day I was

in a rush and did not get it into him in the morning.

I figured I would do a glass at 3:00 and bed. I called home just before 3:00,

expecting my mother to pick up the phone. Instead, my 6 year old son picked up

the phone and said " Hello, who is this? "

He has never answered the phone before, let alone acknowledge that it rang. I

told him that it was Mom and I would be home in a few minutes. He said,

" When you get home, you can give me my Nutriveda. "

So, although he hates the taste of it, I think he feels better while on it

because he is ASKING for it.

Good luck-

OMG Tricia that is so funny!! You say he typically wouldn't answer the phone

-but how about his speech? Is that improved as well from before -sentence

length and complexity/clarity? Are you noticing any other surges yet? I mean I

know it's only 2 weeks but this stuff appears to work pretty quick. And BTW

again all don't forget to take the survey if your child is on Nutriiveda -info

at http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html

And you know what while my one son Tanner always liked the chocolate (always

hated the vanilla) my son Dakota never wanted either (but will now drink either

-prefers the vanilla) and same thing with Dakota while he used to REFUSE with

capital letters to drink it -now he too asks for it.

Tanner...he's taken it to the next step -he will make his nutriiveda himself now

if I don't get it for him fast enough.

I want to add a page to http://www.pursuitofresearch.org using tips that work

-would you mind if I use your tips???

Awesome -you get a gold star!

(and PS you're right the second article is way better -think I copied the wrong

one on the first but I had found an article on switching milks and now can't

find it!)

I do this with my son too -I guess I never looked at it as mock choices but yes

it works. My son hates to brush his teeth and I let him choose his toothbrush

and toothpaste. I have to stock up on Colgate Spongebob toothpaste LOL

I'm curious if your son was talking before he took the nutriveda? My son is 5

and his pediatrician said he didn't know if it could help apraxia but it has

good nutrition and to stop his vitamins if I give this to him. Did you do that?

[Guest guest]

also frustrated here. but am making some progress in getting NV into my son.  I

have now, very very slowly been swapping hot chocolate mix for the NV.  i

started really slow, only adding a small amount in hot(warm)chocolate.  For the

last 2 days i've been putting only 1 tsp hot choc. mix in the cup with hot

water, add lots of milk so it's warm, then added the nutriveda.  I was having

problems because it didn't mix very well. Well, yesterday i went to Ikea and

they sell these mini drink mixers.  they are probably for mixing drinks with

alcohol, but works amazing with the nutriveda and it only cost 9 dollars!  He

seems fine with the drink now, comparing that to not drinking it at all

before.  I am still having trouble getting him to drink water during the day. 

My son seems to be part camel, so doesn't like to drink anything. That's where

my frustration is coming in now.  Tried talking to him about it, tried

rewarding him for drinking

water......nothing.  I haven't been noticing any difference from just doing

the fish oils to doing the NV.  I'm getting depressed about it.  Teachers have

noticed nothing either (i never told them about it)

So, long story. just start with regular chocolate milk with a teaspoon or less

and SLOWLY build from there.

Sandy that's great that you found a way with the blender! And don't worry about

it not " " working yet -based on survey results so far it's probably that you have

only just started getting the right dosage into him or haven't even done gotten

up to a full dosage yet as we know it's very dosage dependent. How old is he

and how much are you using now and for how long?

Also about the taste - keep in mind is that the longer he takes it -the more the

taste will grow on him. Apparently we may be wired to healthy at birth but

since we are skewed to sugar, salt and fat which used to be rare in nature but

is found in abundance today our bodies are confused. Nutriiveda is fat and salt

free and has only 4 grams of organic cane sugar per 2 scoops...so if he's on

just one scoop -well you get it -low either way. Put it this way while

Nutriiveda has zero fat and sodium and very low sugar -one 6.5 oz drink box of

YooHoo has 1 gram of fat, 160 grams of sodium and 22 grams of sugar...does he

like Yoohoo?

http://www.dietfacts.com/html/nutrition-facts/yoo-hoo-chocolate-drink-box-6-5-oz\

-box-26701.htm compare that to

http://pursuitofresearch.org/Choco_NutritionFacts.pdf

But again -drink nutriiveda long enough and your body will start to crave

healthy.

One good thing to keep in mind based on the survey results coming in is that it

appears rare for it not to have effects once on the correct dosage. It does

appear highly unlikely that it could work for everyone but the good news is that

in your case you probably were not getting the full dosage based on your report

-either way you started super low - in which is probably the reason you haven't

seen any surges yet.

As you know we even have reports here and in the survey of regressions on half

dosages- so again highly dosage dependent.

Another interesting note from the survey is that more people than I thought to

start used the Popsicle method to get nutriiveda into their child. You make a

shake and freeze it in those do it yourself freezer Popsicle forms you can find

in any store.

Speaking of which -I looked at the Ikea website to find that blender and

couldn't find it. I don't have and Ikea store near me - can you find it at the

site?

And Sharon, if on the recommended for his age dosage now- please take the survey

at our site so we can share with researchers going ahead

http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html We need all people to respond both

with amazing results or not.

Let me know when you have a chance about dosage and amount of days on it.

Thanks!

" " working yet -based on survey results so far it's probably that you have only

hi lisa,

the mixer from ikea is called " produkt milk-frother " i'm trying to paste it

here, but not too savvy with computers!  It mixes the drink perfectly and

quickly. 

I think likes the taste now, since i did the slow switcheroo with the hot

chocolate mix.  Tried the popsicles....no go. tried smoothies....no go.  I

took out

every trick in my bag and the hot (warm) chocolate is the only thing so far. 

He is such a great, healthy eater, way better than his mom!

I've been trying to get it into him since February and the past few days he's

had the drink consistently with the 4 scoops a day. I watch him like a hawk, and

there hasn't been anything yet to think this is making more of a difference than

just fish oils alone.  We'll wait and see what happens over time.

sandy

But again -drink nutriiveda long enough and your body will start to crave

healthy.

One good thing to keep in mind based on the survey results coming in is that it

I think i have the link to the blender from Ikea

right.  www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10076320  It really does a great

job at mixing the nutriveda in a mug of warm hot chocolate.  Plus it's really

easy to clean and i'm finding it much easier than taking out the blender.  It's

meant as a milk frother but mixes the drink much better than my blender did. 

If the link doesn't work...(i hate computers sometimes!) It's on the ikea

website under milk-frother(you have to put in the hyphen)

sandy

PS:  i now just put about 1/2 tsp of the hot chocolate mix and the rest is

nutriveda now!  He is used to the taste and we are still at 4 scoops a day. 

Now if I could only get him to drink more fluids in a day.....sigh.
