Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yes, he pood lunchtime yesterday, sfter I gave him a suppository. I'm not sure how you know a proper clearout has happened. This morning poo #4 was smaller in quantity and liquid, still brown. I'm having a hellish time getting any supplements into him and the stress really got to me this morning. He won't accept pomegranate juice. Margaret > > Thinking of you and hoping > > Mandi x > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Margaret I have trouble getting Joe to take supplements too. For a long time he would only drink water and if I tried to add anything to it he would not drink at all. Those that do not need to be water soluble I get him to take by putting them on his favourite food, how mean am I. Bacon is a good one as it is strong tasting anyway. He has about 5 different supps on his 3 rashers every morning. Most of the rest I put on his scd bread which I spread with honey. Again it is the honey that motivates him. Other supps I sprinkle on crisps (not scd legal but giving him a bit more starch has helped him to poo daily so Im sticking with it). Oxypowder I melt some plain organic chocolate, mix about 6 caps of oxypowder into it, along with mag cit, vit c and vit b5, then make chocolate drops. One bar lasts him 2-3 days. Ideally I wouldnt give him chocolate but I have to weigh up the sugar against the not taking supps. After a long time I have now managed to get him to take a small amount of probiotics in his morning drink of water. The sacc bou is one of the honey sprinkled supps. It is probably not as effective as swallowing but better than none at all, I think. Others like culturelle and candex I have not been brave enough to try yet, one day I will attempt Mandis sippy cup whilst asleep but I haven't been brave enough yet, getting Joe to sleep is as important as getting him to take those supps, for me. Hope this helps a bit, you will find a way that works for you, keep trying love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Thank you, . I put 3 Oxypowder into 4 squares of G & B organic dark choc - he didn't like it, but it worked in the end. Oxypowder is horribly gritty and so hard to disguise. I have put stuff on bacon in the past (enzymes) so may try this again for probiotics. When fish oils get added in again I am going to give them with a tinned sardine (one of his all time favourite foods, bones and all)! He won't take them in fruit puree or in juice.I am seriously thinking of getting in some sweet fruit yogurt/soya yogurt as he will take supplements in this - however he is supposed to be CF and soya-free. He loves Activia Yogurt which must have a massive amount of sugar in it. I wondered about putting stuff in dates, but he's never eaten dates! I thought I was going to crack up this morning with his strenuous resistance. Margaret > > Margaret > I have trouble getting Joe to take supplements too.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 -Hi Margaret, What about putting the caps in a pasta tube ,would he try swallowing a pea instead of a tic tac.
