Re: Question about strong flavored batch of NV Chocolate and an update

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Could you call the company and ask them why this batch smells so differently?

Perhaps they can send you some new cannisters from a different " Batch " . It

sounds like your daughter is noticing a taste difference in this Batch-- it

would be worth a call to the company to ask why.

I had an older unopened cannister of chocolate... I just opened it- and did not

detect any form of an " herbal odor " . It makes me wondor is they changed

something in the " mix " ....

[ ] Question about strong flavored batch of NV

Chocolate and an update

My daughter Niamh will be 4 next month she was diagnosed just over a year ago by

a developmental pediatrician with suspected verbal apraxia (and since then her

neurologist has said she probably has global Apraxia too).

She is on ProEFa 2 capsules daily, and has been on NV off and on since last

summer. I say off and on as we have periods where she takes it fine, then she

stops wanting to take it and refuses the food it is in.

Initially she was on vanilla (the most we consistently got into her was 1/2

scoop per day), then she went off it so we tried chocolate which she didn't like

at first but we gradually increased the amount she took.

I thought we had finally cracked it a couple of months ago as we were

consistently getting a scoop a day in - I hid a tablespoon of vanilla in her

cereal then gave her a container with 2/3 scoop choc NV and a spoon and called

it chocolate sprinkles - she would add it to her cereal and eat it up. In fact

she liked it so much she was drinking the leftover milk from the bowl (she

typically won't drink milk or milk substitutes at all ). I even got her to drink

a glass of NV choc milk (made with a little traderjoes organic choc syrup) -

which is huge as I've never got her to drink any kind of choc milk before.

Then 3 weeks ago she and I went on a trip to Ireland and this coincided with

opening a new can of Chocolate NV. The new can smells totally different - it has

a strong herbally type smell the previous batch didn't. She missed 2 days as we

were on planes and travelling, then the first 2 days at my mums she ate hardly

any breakfast. Then she started saying no sprinkles and would totally refuse to

eat it if there was any in it (and just putting a little vanilla in didn't work

either.)

We are home now and I'd really like to get her back on the NV - any ideas on how

to overcome the strong herbally smell/ taste of this batch ? (I have 2 cans of

it which is a couple of months supply so I don't want to order more).

She was in EI ST from 18m to 3 years, and had been getting 3x a week 30 min

individual ST through the school district since she turned 3. She attends a

normal (private) preschool 3x a week. I started NV around the same time we

transtioned to SD. We were never told what grade her Apraxia is, but her current

SLP (who only started working with her last June after she was already on NV),

said based on the notes and assessments done when she transitioned she thinks

she was Moderate then.

She has made a lot of progress in the last year - she is now quite a chatterbox,

and although she still doesn't sound like a normal almost 4 yo people understand

her much better than a year ago. She still has many sounds she can't make eg " K'

- she can say Car spontanously but no other " k " words (she can say a few more in

therapy), " F " she can say some words in therapy but none spontaneously, " G " -

she just had a breakthrough and can now say gas, go, goose, ghost spontaneously

(all words we have worked on), but no others, she also can'y say " S " , " R " , " L " ,

some " B " words she can say others she can't.

She also has some strangeways of saying things, and does things like using

" asking " to mean both asking and telling, mixes up names of mealtimes eg calling

lunch breakfast etc etc

Anyhow, everyone who knows her comments on what huge progress she has made in

the last year.

I had voiced some concerns earlier this year about her poor prewriting skiils

and lack of handedness, and although she is still behind she did seem to be

improving on the full scoop (and started to show a slight preference for her

right hand)

We have never seen dramatic changes in a a few days of being on NV - it has

always been more like she just progresses faster on it.

She did seem to be making even more progress on a full scoop a day (kept getting

messages from her SLP saying what a great session she'd had).

We have never seen regression when she is off the NV, but it does seem like her

progress is slower off it.

So I really want to work out how to get her back on NV - any hints on how to

deal with the " herbally batches " . Also I wanted to get an OT assessment done in

the next few weeks before her IEP - should I keep her off the NV until thats

done ? (her IEP is in 4 weeks, her dev.ped follow up isn't until a month later).

Thanks,

mum to almost 4yo twins Niamh (Apraxia) and Aidan (previously globally delayed

now pretty much caught up, sensory issues)

and 7 yo (NT)

Hi !

When you say

> She also has some strangeways of saying things, and does things like using

" asking " to mean both asking and telling, mixes up names of mealtimes eg calling

lunch breakfast etc etc

Some of that could be what is in her motor memory as she's still learning

speech- and some of it could be developmental. I wouldn't worry about it at

this point. I know when I was little I used to call lettuce " salad " and no

matter how many times people tried to correct me and tell me that lettuce went

into a salad but lettuce it lettuce- I still called it salad. It made sense to

me then. Do I still call lettuce salad -of course not -I was a little kid then!

Also in a recent message to from our group here and at Facebook I just

answered her with some information about 'stages of apraxia' as it can create

developmental lags as well. (look at the last message from me here about this

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601 & topic=15864 )

About the NV -I haven't heard this from anyone else and haven't noticed it

myself and we go through 3 canisters of chocolate a week (!!) in my house alone

because Tanner, me and my husband all use 2 scoops twice a day...well actually

Tanner makes his own now and uses 3 scoops twice a day-so make that 3 1/2

canisters a week! And Tanner is the picky one here so if there was a difference

he could detect even a bit he'd say " ewwwww this tastes disgusting I can't drink

it " There was one time the texture was off and it was due to one of the herbs

and it was bitter...it still worked and all of us had to use it and one of our

parents in Saudi Arabia who orders a bunch at a time when family visits -I

warned him it was nasty but we had no choice and he had to use it for 6 months

-it was only one month it was like that - and our only option was not to use it

at all and that wasn't going to happen. But no word from anyone else yet that

I've heard and I typically do- anyone else here???

Did you call customer service yet? They are excellent- just call them at 866

349 9911, and even better for your situation as I've never heard this before and

know she'd want to know the batch number -press option number 4 and ask for

s in products. Because NV is all natural and there are fruits,

roots and leaves that make up the botanicals there can be slight differences

between batches -but the quality control is excellent and constantly tested so

each has the same nutrient panel.

I suspect it could be the on and off that could be an issue. You've been using

NV since last summer so not quite a year? I have an unusual sense of smell and

the different batches do smell a bit different to me -but they all work and

that's all that matters -and again other than that one month's batch so far they

all pretty much taste the same. Again with all natural botanicals it depends on

that plant- the harvest etc.

The progress you are seeing is incredible the fact that she's a " chatterbox "

even if some of what she says is mixed up a bit.

As far as more dramatic surges once you get the schedule regular at the right

dosage of 2 scoops a day or even heaping scoops better yet - then you'll know

more. Essential nutrients are needed daily.

I added a new 'getting started' page and even though I know you aren't getting

started -it may answer some of the questions and I do have the contact number

for the manufacturer who ships for us! Also the second down has the serving

suggestion and recipe page link -have you tried any of the recipes? (the

various NV cookies are popular for the picky eaters)

I haven't tried customer service yet - I just got back from Ireland a couple of

days ago, I'll call them Monday.

I have a tiny bit of the old batch left (just a scoop or so) and it just smells

totally different - the old batch smells kind of warm and choclately, the new

batch smells like a herbal tea. Both myself and my husband noticed it

immediately on opening the can so it's not surprising my daughter noticed too. I

did just try a little on my fingertip and it is more bitter.

I wonder if it is from the batch that you noticed as more bitter a little while

ago ? I bought it from speech411 rather than direct, so it could be that you

still had some from that batch when I ordered it ?

It was just such a pity as she was really enjoying her " sprinkles " and we were

actually trying to make sure she didn't take too much as she was wanting it

several times a day (and she still wants the same cereal just without the

sprinkles).

I did check and my other unopened can is the same batch 10326, so I'll see what

customer service says.

Do you think I should try to restart ASAP or wait until she has the OT

assessment ? (I don't have a date yet but it is supposed to be in the next 3 1/2

weeks)

Thanks,

that depends because you say you started last summer and that's when we had

that bitter batch around the month of July 2010. It was also a different lot

number 10173 and I have more on that below. I also will put below one of the

emails from Brittney -one of our parents here who I'm also friends with on

facebook- because her daughter had incredible surges in 2 days on NV when she

started on her on that one batch and we joked " imagine calling customer service

and asking for more of the bitter batch! "

At that time last summer it wasn't just the chocolate it was vanilla that was

affected as well in the bitter taste because they both contain all the same

ingredients except the chocolate has cayenne pepper and the vanilla has

cinnamon. So it was one of the botanicals that are in both that was more bitter

than usual- I can't recall which it was. But again didn't affect the quality of

it -it still worked the same.

These were the lot numbers -vanilla 10162 exp 6/2012 and chocolate 10173 exp.

6/2012. Again these were lots from around July of 2010. The lot you have is

from February which is when you last ordered. If you call them you can get it

switched as I have another batch too now -but I compared them in smell and they

are slightly different but not much -again taste nobody here can tell the

difference.

I am the only one that can tell the difference in the smell with the different

lots too. Then again my husband finds if freaky that I can tell where people

buy me presents from sometimes because I know what different stores smell like

-yes really my sense of smell is crazy sensitive(!!) But my husband and boys

thankfully can't- well not so much my husband as that wouldn't matter but again

for Tanner I'm glad his sense of smell isn't super strong in particular -he

likes his chocolate NV one way now -with water and a splash of almond chocolate

milk. When we started it was lots of chocolate syrup, agave, sometimes a half a

stick of a fudgesicle or some chocolate ice cream with ice and we started with

soy chocolate milk- and Tanner would drink it doctored up. I couldn't open up

the comparison of the 1800s to today sundae but it's probably the exact opposite

of Tanner with NV -he now likes his NV plain as possible -he will drink it with

just water too.

My other son Dakota is the only one in the family that prefers the vanilla -but

he'll drink the chocolate if he has to -but finds it too " chocolaty " for him.

Tanner on the other hand as he is old enough to explain to and also he himself

knows when he is regressing at this point will drink the vanilla if he has to if

we run out of chocolate (we get new product in all month long but sometimes not

fast enough!!) -but in his words he thinks it " tastes disgusting -like vomit "

(it doesn't to anyone else- my husband or I will drink it too-and again Dakota

prefers it -but again my son Tanner with each sip of vanilla while holding his

nose -the entire time he's drinking it you'll hear him complaining -and yes he's

able to articulate exactly how much he hates it now!!! "

Call them tomorrow and I know you will get the same message I just told you

about the difference in the botanicals which is something out of anyone's

control when you deal with natural products -but they are as particular as

possible to try to keep it exactly the same.

But I'll take a bit difference in the taste or smell -thankfully not the

formula!! Here's an update as promised about that bitter batch from last

summer!

Sat Jul 17, 2010 11:48 am

Re: Not even 2 days on NV!!

Well this is really good news but very funny too!! There's never anything

different about the formula for nutriiveda -but keep in mind they deal with slow

growing vegetations (see the list here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html )and depending upon when they are

harvested etc. there can be actual changes in how the product tastes, blends

etc. I mean for the most part it's the same and it always works. Well Brittany

got this one lot that out of the entire time we've used nutriiveda is the most

bitter tasting -so right after she got it she posted this to my facebook wall

" We got our NV last night...dosed out 1/2 a scoop and gave it to Cale before

bed. Realized this morning that we are out of juice (which I mixed it into last

night) and just dumped it into whatever was in his sippy cup from dinner last

night (not sure what it was). He told me it was " P. U. " LOL I got him to drink

it anyw...ay...guess I need to get more juice :-) I'll let you know how he

does!! "

And I joked to Brittany won't it be funny if this batch that we don't like as

much ends up being even more effective?! And sure enough that is how it seems!

Not that most of you would know because everyone expects nutriiveda to not taste

good anyway since so many say they have trouble getting it into their kids which

is why I came up with this full page!!!

http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html

Anyway -Brittany and I were talking and she said " Can you imagine me calling the

company and asking for the more bitter tasting nutriiveda?!! "

So that is why this update is both incredible and funny at the same time. Yay

for Brittany and Yay for nutriiveda and Yay for bitter slow growing

vegetation!!!! haha

Brittany can we share your update on our testimony page (taking off email etc of

course) here http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html

Congratulations!!!

Hi ,

As you hadn't noticed any taste difference with this batch I figured I'd try her

again with it before calling customer service.

On Sunday I gave her cereal with a tablespoon of vanilla NV plus used the choc

NV I had from the previous canister as sprinkles and she ate it up. Monday I

gave her cereal with a tablespoon vanilla NV - then just gave her a couple of

teaspoons of the " herbally " choc NV, as sprinkles and she ate it, so I've been

gradually increasing the amount of the choc NV each day. Today I gave it both

with her cereal in the morning and in chocolate puddig this afternoon and she

has eaten it all - and is back up to a full scoop (she is still 3 so I had been

considering that her full dose), I will try increasing her to a heaping scoop

over the next few days.

This batch still smells really weird to me but the important thing is she is

eating it again, so I guess it was being away from home that was putting her off

before not the smell/ taste. Thinking back the times she has stopped taking it

before have been when we are away from home or when she has been sick (plus when

I was recovering from surgery and her dad didn't give it to her when he was in

charge of breakfast for a few weeks !)

Anyhow I'm happy she is taking it again,
