Responding to the Q about giving enzymes.<br>
<br>
There was a whole topic on this maybe a few weeks ago; you might
look for it.<br>
<br>
My take on it is: this is not negotiable with you granddaughter.
Either she takes the enzymes or she doesn't get to eat.
Sounds mean I know, but compliance with enzymes will be the
least of your worries if you have to start other treatments as
well, depending on her condition and symptoms.<br>
<br>
Make it non-confrontational but firm; we simply open the capsule(s)
up based on the dosage recommended by our doctor. We sprinkle
the microbeads on top of a spoonful of applesauce (there are a TON
of different flavors available); our three-year old DD swallows,
and then we carry on with the meal or snack. We don't try to
hide it or trick her or anything. She adopted quite quickly
and now her teachers at school can also do it without any battles.
In a pinch one time I sprinkled them on a spoonful of ketchup
in the drive through at McDonald's, lol!<br>
<br>
I don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything. Just take this
head on now. I really wish you the best of luck with
this.<br>
