Benefiber is made from a bean (I believe) type plant......or so the

gastro told us. My son is on Miralax, and I think you can get it over

the counter. It does the same thing w/o the thickness or grit, but

does not produce the gas that some may get from the Benefiber. Lori/TX

" Benefiber " or similar. It is a powder that you add to any food. It

does not add thickness or taste to the food.

Of course will keep in touch, Barbara. I think, though, that a lot of

parents/moms can relate here, though. The things we do for love of our

AS kids, you know? Hugs, Lori

} Hi Willa: We tried the pancakes with applesauce mixed in. It worked for a

couple of weeks, then our son caught on. I do make him eat regular oatmeal at

least 3 times a week. When he gives me grief, I tell him I won't drive him to

school till he finishes his bowl. Since he does not want to miss school it has

worked so far. Thanks. Barbara

Sheesh, first someone has the kid who loves veggies, now someone has

the kid who loves school! ;-)

My son does not eat any sweets or candy. He will not eat the gummy bears. I convinced him (very difficult) to try a Flintstones chewable and it was painful to watch him trying to take small bites of the tiny vitamin...choking and gaging while doing it. Pam See what's free at AOL.com.

Can you get him to try to swallow a pill? That way he won't get a taste? ppanda65@... wrote: My son does not eat any sweets or candy. He will not eat the gummy bears.

My daughter would not touch candy either. She was non-verbal so we

could not ask 'why' she disliked them, but we guessed that they may

have reminded her of medication.

Towards the 'Flintstones' vitamins: Eww! I remember taking these as a

kid myself and although the shapes were appealing, the taste was

horrid... maybe they haven't improved the flavour! LOL
