Re: burping continues

November 6, 2004

I have been able to help my daughter with this problem by telling her

that at a certain event we wouldn't do that anymore. Examples-a week

before her 4th birthday I started telling her that once she turned 4

she couldn't have " drinkies " anymore. The day before her 4th

birthday she said " when I turn 4 no more drinkies " , and she hasn't

asked since. A few days before Halloween I told her the day after

Halloween she has to start wearing her coat (instead of jacket). I

use events that have big meaning to her and start giving her warning

a few days to a week ahead of time. She wanted to change these

habits and would hear me when I talked about changing them but just

couldn't seem to do it without a concrete event that she understood.

Best Wishes!

Or it is about her wanting to not do something that is part of her

routine, like watching a certain TV show, and she just can't seem to

let it go without getting frustrated.

For us this would be a yeast issue.

We have treated for yeast and I don't see any other behaviors or symptoms that

lead me to thing yeast. So I don't know what it is. The burping is only after

enzymes, which I give before snacks and meals.
