Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Do any of you give your children flax oil straight with like a syringe or something? I am tired of trying to hide stuff in her food in drinks. She knows it is there and then doesn't want to eat or drink. I am thinking I might be able to just get her to take it straight if I offer some sort of reward to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'd try it yourself first. I was surprised how bad it tasted to me (like eating grass). , Mom of 3, middle child 3 yr old son with CP, Hydrocephalus with VP Shunt, Cortical Vision Impairment, Profound Cognitive Delays, and Developmentally Delayed (non-verbal, combat crawling, can't sit/stand, bottle/soft food fed) - but very happy! > >Reply-To: miralax >To: miralax >Subject: flax oil >Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2007 21:35:17 -0000 > >Do any of you give your children flax oil straight with like a syringe >or something? > >I am tired of trying to hide stuff in her food in drinks.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Have you tried mixing it with plain yogurt and honey? My dd loves it that way. Very good for her too.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Flax oil tastes pretty good on pasta with a little Parmesan. But maybe that doesn't get as much into a child at one time as you would like. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 But wouldn't pasta and parmesan both be very constipating??

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 For those who use flax, how much do you use? Dr. Sears says 2 tsp. for toddlers.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Susie, Someone just posted a kid lax chewable a couple weeks ago in an attatchment. I had flax in it. I think that could be much easier on the child and the parents. Kirkman Labs has chewables wafers etc. I didn't save the paper I downloaded sorry. Maybe you could post asking for info from the person who posted kidlax jeanieSusie wrote: But wouldn't pasta and parmesan both be very constipating??

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Depends on the pasta, and on the child. There are lots of different pastas out there...we're doing well at the moment with a quinoa pasta. As for cheese, it just depends. My DD turns out not to be bothered by it. There are cheese alternatives too, if you child will eat them (mine won't!).

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks Bonnie!! I didn't realize that there were any non-constipating pastas. I did know that there were cheese substitutes, but just figured that when someone says cheese they are refering to the dairy kind. I know some are lactose intolerant, and get diareah, but they wouldn't eat it to begin with. I have never heard of anyone not being effected (even with a healty colon) by cheese. That is very interesting to note!! We're gonna have to try that quinoa!!! I want to see more options in my dd's diet!! Thanks again!!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well, enough flax seed oil for my son usually made him puke (he needed 2 tbsp.), so we used mineral oil even though I would have preferred flax. Our best oil dosage method is almost straight--it's mixed with a juice (his choice within limits of what I have in the house--the kids aren't always allowed juice, so it's a bit of a treat). We use one of those syringes sometimes used for dosing medicine, so I squirt an oil/juice " mix " into his mouth. I am, at least in theory, a person who prefers not to use a reward/punishment approach, but I would probably give myself a reward for taking oil every day if I couldn't swallow a capsule!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I didn't get chance to add info to this thread earlier. Anyone who is using flax oil for it's laxative and omega 3 benefits, please know that in order to properly convert it, you need enough B3, B6, zinc, magnesium and vitamin c in order to convert it to EPA and DHA. That said -- there are 2 companies that I know of that make orange flax oil -- which is much more palatable than regular. Omega Nutrition and another one I can't recall the name -- it's tougher to find -- and SUN is in the name -- sorry -- over 40 mind. In our house we couldn't get enough flax in my son to make a difference -- magnesium was the ticket for us. > > > > Do any of you give your children flax oil straight with like a > syringe > > or something? > > > > I am tired of trying to hide stuff in her food in drinks.
