Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I don't know if there's a Trader Joe's near you, but they have great vegan and gluten-free health bars for $1.99. Will he take the supps w/juice if you water down the juice? What if you put a little cocoa in the almond mylk? S S <tt> My son usually has been drinking almond milk for his milk sub and in it some of his supps, he's rather picky when it comes to juices and seems to have decided he only likes choc soy milk, my concern I guess is how should I go about helping him understand that he needs to have his drinks when I give them, it's like he knows somethings up finally after 3 months on the GFCF diet, should I worry, the only real regular success with his supps is his chewable B complex and his magnesium lotion, did I miss somewhere that has chewable provits, surely I could find chewable vit C, and what does everyone think of the fact that I was trying to successfully give him Taurine and could succeed with all his supps if I could just put them in juice. That couldn't be good though, I just don't know about him drinking juice most of the day and milk only once or twice, his calcium supp seems more natural in a milk sub than juice. I'm sorry all this may seem so trivial, if I could just get other's<BR> points of view. Another question would be does all this pickiness really tend to change after chelation, oh I hope so. Ofcourse through all this, we as well are constantly concerned about his nutrient levels, like he still only eats peanut butter, eggs, and chicken for protein, plus what luckily gets snuck in with his organic food bars, I swear if it weren't for them he wouldn't get most of what he needs in his diet. At almost $3 a bar and for the lack in major variety it's hard to put them in front of him more than once a day. So before this turns into so many more unsure thoughts, thanks in advance. <BR> Tina<BR> <BR> <BR> ---------------------------------<BR> New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Tina, There are many places that have chewable mulitvites. Just make sure they are free of anything he shouldn't have. I even think Kirkman has some chewables. Also, the calcium, you can cook with calcium powder, add it to something he is going to eat that day. I bake it into food along with protein powder to make up for what my son does not eat. You can take a GFCF recipe for a cookie or item he prefers and bake the protein power and calcium into it. The if he has a serving or two a day he will get what he needs. My son only takes a few things in his juice which is limited to two servings a day. The rest we hide or add to foods. And not to worry, my daughter drank nothing but chocolate soy milk for a long time. And beleive me they do know something is up! Clever little ones. I cannot let my son see me make his foods or add things to them. Except the flaxseed, he thinks that belongs there because I have always used it. > > My son usually has been drinking almond milk for his milk sub and in it some of his supps, he's rather picky when it comes to juices and seems to have decided he only likes choc soy milk, my concern I guess is how should I go about helping him understand that he needs to have his drinks when I give them, it's like he knows somethings up finally after 3 months on the GFCF diet, should I worry, the only real regular success with his supps is his chewable B complex and his magnesium lotion, did I miss somewhere that has chewable provits, surely I could find chewable vit C, and what does everyone think of the fact that I was trying to successfully give him Taurine and could succeed with all his supps if I could just put them in juice.
