worry about capsules themselves

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My little guys can finally swallow pills. But as he swallows so many

pills everyday (easily 10 to 15), I start to worry about whether the

capsules themselves can cause any harm. His pills are mostly from

Kirkmans Lab, and a few from Wellness Health and Pharmaceuticals. I

found myself randomly holding back pills to give him as I worry about

the capsules.

I guess maybe there is an underlying worry about giving pills to a

kid. Before when I mix his supplements in his drinks, it almost felt

better. But now when he dutiful takes those pills, I somehow feel

guilty every time. I guess I don't know if I'm doing the right thing

sometimes.

My son is four and a half and very high functioning. I guess

sometimes I don't know if giving him all the supplements is the right

thing to do. He has, over the years, not been really responsive to

whatever we give him. So far educational (VBA) was the magic bullet.
