son hates SNT-any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

Months ago, my son would take a multi-vitamin everyday without any protest. At

that time I was giving him a brand I found at Costco (no preservatives, yeast or

gluten). Then I switched him to Schiff's chewables . He took those for a

while, then all of a sudden started spitting them out. Now I'm trying Super Nu

Thera -liquid. I put it in juice and his " radar " has detected it - he will not

drink the juice! Any suggestions on how I can hide the flavor of it or maybe

should I try another brand?

-Thanks!

- I stopped giving SNT after starting enzymes, but when I gave it I

put it in a small amount of juice (I used the powder) and mixed it

then gave it to my daughter with a medicine dropper. This way I could

squirt it into the back of her mouth so she didn't taste it as much.

She didn't like it at first but it didn't take long for her to accept

it.

I wondered if I should even give him SNT since he's been on enzymes. I think

I'll just nix it altogether and stick with just enzymes. Luckily, I only

ordered a sample of the stuff.

I will send you the file on Mixing Suggestions and you might find

something in there. Like the dropper to help kill the taste, a straw

may work if you keep it near the back of your mouth before sucking

the stuff down. Also, have him try holding his nose while he takes

it. Smell has a lot to do with our sense of taste.

Thanks for the tips ! The challenge is that my son is only 2 1/2 --so it

might be a little hard to get him to hold his nose. I think the smell is really

what makes it so unappealing.

Thanks

We had success for several years with mixing the SNT powder in fruit syrup

(next to maple syrup in the grocery store). I gave it to him with a

medicine syringe (get at drugstore). In my opinion, it's a real good idea

to get out of the habit of mixing vitamins in his food as soon as possible,

and just make vitamins a part of the daily routine that he knows he can't

get out of. Try to make them as good tasting as you can, then insist on

it. We had a little kicking and screaming at first, but my son got used to

within a few days when we did this. Before this, he was starting to 'not'

eat things and be suspicious of foods and drinks because he knew we were

sneaking things in there - not good! He's nine now and slugs down his

vitamins (liquid and pills) from Dixie cups twice a day.

My son is the same way. I tried the SNT liquid and my

son refuses to take it know matter what I put it in.

HE smells all those B vitamins. It does smell and

taste rather nasty I think too. However, I believe it

is a great benefit to our children. Then I tried the

powder but I still feel or should I say the Dr. we

take our son to feels that there is something in the

SNT that is setting him off. SO I wanted to change

multi vitamins. I am still waiting for Brainchild

supplements to arrive. But at this rate I will have

to order the SNT again or just go without for awhile.

Best of luck to you. Animal Parade I was told you can

get at the Health Food Store. I still feel Kirkmans

have great products for our kids and they really care

about Autism. Just not all Austisic children are

created equal and what works for one does not work for

others. May God Bless All Our Efforts For The Sake Of

Our Children!
