Janet, on the enzyme list, some of the mothers had good luck with hiding

supplements in chocolate drops. They would melt some chocolate chips, make

small patties on wax paper and use a toothpick to stir the supplements up

into the chocolate. Some got the small candy molds and used the same idea.

That worked for us too...Only with Enzymes though. We are not able to get

our daughter to take ANY other kind of medication.

Chewable prescriptions for ear infections, chewable vitamins

won't take anything chewable.

Bill and I have to hold her down for the liquid prescription

medicines and try to get it in her.

If I could get to do chewables, by crushing them and putting

them in smething she won't detect, it would make life so much easier

for and our family.
