We started supps with Sam when he was 3 - I always gave them in a lidded cup so he couldn't see them, what the eye can't see and all that. Less smell escapes (they were only HN Zyme in those days). If child has already progressed from lidded cup then try a sports bottle with a big nozzle as the 'big boys cup'. To get enzymes to disperse well in juice/water first add them to a small amount of WARM water (not hot), fix the lid on and shake like crazy, then top up with cooled or iced water. Best to start enzymes and get settled out on them before you start challenging diet so you can tell if there are issues with the food or the enzyme. Some folks still need to remove certain foods - oranges/juice tomatoes seem common ones. Good luck let me know how you go Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put a bit of food on spoon, sprinkle enzymes and then add a bit more food on top that would be ideal. He wont taste the non fruity ones but might think he does if he sees you doing it LOL Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for the tip. Is there any point in giving them IN the food. he still eats lots of mashed-up stuff so would be easy to hide - as long as no 'pukey' taste.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi Natasa, Just to let you know my 24 month old's taste/texture/temperature sensitivies are high as well as his oral defensiveness. I gave him the Peptizyde AFP enzymes mixed in some yoghurt in a 20cc syringe (a big one) and he took them without problem. He is, however, used to having yoghurty stuff syringed into his mouth and we have a routine for it so he takes it. He would not take them in his milk AT ALL. I suspect this is because they started breaking down the milk immediately (especially since he drinks it warm) and he refused to drink it. Be careful though, by the second day he was completely a different child - going through all the classic symptoms of withdrawal. We were shocked, it was awful. Especially since we've not had any experience with regression before. Last night though I read the book from the University of Sunderland and some of McBride's GAPS book and I see that he was going through the classic signs of opiate withdrawal. Today (now that he's back to his milk-induced-opiate-hazed-compliant-tired self) I syringed him a tiny bit in heated apple juice (the powder dissolved nicely) and he did not discriminate the difference in flavour. Best of luck getting them down your little one. Obviously they are going to make a difference for , it's just a matter of mitigating the withdrawal. Take care, Darla In a message dated 07/06/2006 19:17:31 GMT Standard Time, neno@... writes: Hi Mandi, just remembered in one of your posts you mentioned tasteless enzymes - which ones were those?We are currently SCD, never managed enzymes because of taste (ds just spits out anything 'suspicious' and too young for caps) - was hoping to add some non-SCD foods over summer, some complex carbs here and there...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 sprinkled in marmite sandwiches works for us. the strong flavour of the marmite easuly overpowers the enzyme taste. Also as marmite is oil based not water the enzymes do not start to work, they need water for this i believe. Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Marmite does contain naturally occuring MSG which may not be very good for some kids, but does not bother us here luckily and it is so good for hiding nasty tasting stuff!!! Not sure what DGa is, please enlighten me? Nikki :+) > > > In a message dated 14/06/2006 13:57:23 GMT Daylight Time, > claire_webster@... writes: > > Am I missing something?
