Clinical trial for liquid enzymes

Hi, I don't meen to sound direct, but my child has CF, and has been swallowing her enzymes since the age of two months shy, of her second birthday. I know everyone is different, but if this helps.....NO was not an option. You take your enzymes period. She is four and half now, and maneuvers her enzymes around her food in her mouth three at a time, with no effort at all. Be agressive, when it is a necessity in his life. My daughter is amazing with anything she needs to do to keep herself healthy, and complains NEVER.........I feel sad some times when parents try to sugar coat when it's ' a matter of fact' and need to just deal with it. they are only gona make things harder for the child later on in life, not for the parents.take care
Hey guys, sorry about the confusion. My daughter started swallowing ECS 8's, three at a time, whole with no water just the full capsules. We were on the side walk at the Santa Claus parade just a mth or two before her second B-day. Anyway, I was mixing 7 of the ECS 8's in apple sauce in the dark and decided that night that she would learn to swallow them, instead of having to mix them in sauce all the time. In tHe next few days she was swallowing them one at a time at first, then two and three, next thing you know she would do it without juice, water nothing just like that. With the food, I meant, when it is half way through her meal and time for her second set of enzymes, she will take the enzymes without emptying her mouth of food first, she pushes the food to the side of her mouth with her tongue, shoves the enzymes in and swallows and then returns to chewing her food. She doesn't even second guess it. I feel the only reason she does it so well and other stuff such as her cat scans and throat swabs and blood work is because I don't give her the chance to say "no" or "I don't want to" because she has to deal with this for the rest of her life, I just tell her you have to and that's that. Her younger brother even helps get her enzymes when he shares his snack with her.
