Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I think i need to teach her how to swallow a pill...LOLOL any >suggestions?? We started teaching with gelcaps--they don't melt quickly and don't taste like much of anything. We were using DHA caps at the time. He got the hang of it quickly. We then moved to regular caps, like the enzymes. He, too, can swallow these without water. He can now swallow what we call horsepills...Goatein and Perfect Food. Those melt in your mouth quickly so there are some that get spit out. However, there are times all five (of each) go down. Today he swallowed all five Goateins but only three perfect foods. I'll give him two more later. He is really good about taking them. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 >>Of course, who can say for sure > if its the supplemnts or just that she progresses in bursts.?????? For my son, he had no progress at all until I started biomedical interventions, and he did make nice progress with certain supplements. > She hates the taste and its getting harder to sneak them in but she still > takes them . I think i need to teach her how to swallow a pill...LOLOL any > suggestions?? At first, I smeared honey on the gelcap and put in at the back of my son's tongue. He gagged a little but did swallow it. This was about a month ago [he is age 7-1/2]. Now all I have to do is get the gelcap wet, to make it smoother, and just put it in his mouth. He moves it to the back of his tongue and swallows it all by himself. He does not even need to drink water, altho I do give him a drink after he swallows it.

Antoinette, What great news. It's so good to get independent confirmation of the improvements, isn't it? Enjoy your holidays - sounds like your daughter will be enjoying them more too.
