amino acids, aminoplex, L-carnitine - how to give

[Guest guest]

Our nutritionist has recommended aminoplex and L-carnitine for our 5 year

old. The problem is that I understand that it should not be taken with any

other protein, and for several months he has been completely a water only

drinker - no juice. The only juice that I can get him to drink now (with the

aminoplex and Lcarnitine) is : " capri sun " - which isn't even a juice. And he

will only drink it on the capri sun container, not poured into a glass. And

he won't drink aminoplex in plain water. He refuses apple sauce.

And ironically, I was so happy to move him to water beng his only beverage

that I am reluctant to give him capris sun 2x a day.

He has " mild yeast markers " and is on probiotic gold. He used to have red

cheeks several times a month, but I haven't seen this for a while.

I need more ideas to get the aminoplex and l-carnitine into him ...

thank you,

Margaret

Thank you Peg! I did not know about the premixing problem with the aminos. I

will make sure that they are not premixed. I just bought pear juice and will

try adding a bit to the capri sun/water combo too

> You might

try squirty the aminos before you leave for work in

the morning...like on 1st waking to give time before

breakfast.

> Also, are you premixing the aminos with the Capri Sun

before you leave for work? Dr. M has indicated that

they are only potent for like 15 minutes after they

are mixed with liquid. If your hubby won't do the

mixing right before giving it to him, maybe it'll have

to wait till just before bedtime.

Margaret: Aminos are tough! I sometimes resort to cherry concentrate or

elderberry extract for these bad-tasting things - it is sweet and tart and hides

almost anything. You may just have to hold him and syringe it in at first until

he knows there's no choice (toughlove). The best for the kids is pear sauce; it

does not encourage yeast. Dr. JM amino acids, aminoplex, L-carnitine - how to give

I have done these two mixes to get the nasty stuff in:

--Packet of EmergenC Lite, bit of Kirkman's syrup and a splash of water.

Tastes like strong Tang and masks the bitterness. Can be mixed very

concentrated to fit in a 2 tsp. syringe.

--Vit C powder, couple drops of stevia and a splash of water.

I think it's good to mix a little tartness and sweetness together to mask

the nasty taste of supps.

Thank you to everyone who responded...with your encouragement I bought a

plastic syringe and pear juice and mix the aminoplex and L-carnitine together

into just the small amount of pear juice that fits into the syringe. After he

takes the " medicine " then he drinks water or his choice of juice.

He's taken it this way for 3x so far, I think this is our new method of choice

for the aminos!

Thank you again for the encouragement,

Margaret
