Re: dag-nabit! Supplements

[Guest guest]

Lynn,

My son could swallow capsules at 4-years old. Can you accomplish this? It was

oodles easier for us to give supplements this way, and I think safer when

getting a prescription (I've had problems with stuff in bottles from the

pharmacy).

I just spent quite a bit on the liquid supplements from kirkmans on

my son not realizing those were illegal. My fault for buying them at

the same time as buying the book. Drats! So, now I have to go back

to pouring capsules in all of his food again? He was really enjoying

his foods today too I think without all the stuff in it. Is there

any liquid calcium/magnesium that anyone knows of that is legal?

It's a much easier way to get calcium in my son.

Also- I thought I posted earlier, but must not have as I haven't

seen the post...

I would like to know how many have jumped in on the goat yogurt that

have had their child GFCF. How different is the protein? This was an

extreme area for my son on the intolerance testing and blood testing

for proteins 6 months into the diet. I'm brave enough if I hear

enough ok's.

And, my son has had normal BM's for months now. So, does this

indicate he will be ok on most foods? Should we wait for possible

die off first? He has had only a minor die-off, once ever.

Even with the illegal supplements today, he is way more verbal, but

this is a typical initial reaction to everything we do.

Lynn,

If you haven't unwrapped the bottles, you may be able to exchange them

for legal versions.

I wouldn't pour the supplements into his food because it does make

everything taste bad.

Have you ever tried just mixing them in a small amount of a strong

juice (like purple grape juice) and using a medicine dropper and

putting in in his mouth, then follow it with a drink of water or more

grape juice-plain?

That way it would be overwith quickly and his food wouldn't be

" contaminated " .

As for calcium, I think the Kirkman's calcium powder is fine and it

can be used in baking.

Even though your son doesn't have stool issues anymore, it still seems

that the people who start with the intro diet see results more quickly

than those who just switch to eating anything that's SCD legal from

the very beginning.

The nature of the SCD is one of healing and gradual progress. It

starts with a restricted list of foods and gradually adds more and

more foods. The body heals and can tolerate a wider selection of foods.

This is the exact opposite of what we saw with GFCF (which was amazing

for behavior for us and we were on it for over 3 years). But with

GFCF, it kept seeming like my boys continued to develop more and more

sensitivities rather than healing.

Pecanbread.com has lots of great info on starting the SCD with kids

and tons of great recipes (over 100).

It's unwrapped and he's had them today and yesterday. I'll just take

the calcium myself. I'll forfeit the $ on the vitamins if it will

gain speech!

I think I read welchs grape juice is ok? I have some of that on hand

and could try it that way.

Thanks,

Lynn

I'm not sure he would. I may try it, but we've only just jumped into

communication. He is also blind, so I can't show him, but it might

be possible. (bday was last wed, just turned 4)

I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

I baked Kirkman minerals (opening the capsules) into his muffins. He does

not seem to notice a difference, and that way I do not have to fool around

with the minerals settling into the bottom of his juice glass. Minerals do

not change with heat and therefore can be baked with, according to my DAN

doc. Alice
