Re: Help, My Non-Supplement Taking Son Becoming More Agressive

August 29, 2006

,

This was my son in Januray!

We ended up starting with just a probiotic mixed into juice. It is

flavorless and has no smell. After a week or two on that some of his

disposition improved so that we could add powdered

multivitamin/mineral to his juice. I put flaxseed in homemade

cookies that were all natural, so he was eating EFA's each day. We

even added calcium and protien powder to those cookies. Find

something that he will willing eat/drink. That is going to be your

main vehicle until you can settle things down with him. He is likely

bucking everything because of the nizoral making him sick. It may

take some time for him to willing accept things again.

My son was puker too if we tried to " give " him anything. Everything

had to be bought in unflavored and hidden into his foods. I put

flaxseed in his pancakes, and I put e oil and A oil in the syrup.

Etc. Once we got the probiotics working and some of his yeast down

he was less aggressive. As we have gotten him on supplements bit by

bit, he has improved. We completed 9 rounds of chelation now and he

is nothing like that. Before we could chelate though, I had to start

a game with him using a baby medicine syringe. WE only used water in

it or juice at that time, but we took turns squirting the liquid

into baby and mommy. Letting him squirt himself. We did this for

days until he was comfortable with the medicine squirter. Then we

began putting juice in it and squirting juice. He was ok as long as

he could squirt himself, just not us. That gave him comfort to have

control over what went into his mouth. When it came time to actually

do chelation he was good with the squirter and would take if for a

bribe. Best advice is don't force him to take things, at this point.

He will just get more upset about it and make matters worse. We even

resorting to hiding supplements in mini peanut butter cups.

Eventhough he isn't supposed to have them, the benefit of the

supplement getting in outweighed the bad of the pb cup. Be patient

above all! They take it as a personal assault when you try to force

them. Also, has he been evaluated by your school district yet, or

specialist? My son ended up having a sensory integration disorder

which was why he was so violent about taking supplements and picky

about foods. Oral sensory issues do this. It helped by giving him an

electric toothbrush to chew on. It made him less sensitive.

My daughter is 4 now but was very similar at 2-3 years old. I could not get

anything in her. I found only behavior strategies to work. Threatening never

worked and usually made it worse. I told her calmly what I needed her to do and

then asked her if she wanted to use a syringe or a measuring spoon. She

sometimes likes to stir it. Sometimes she wanted to go back and forth between

the supplement and water. I made a reward board and gave her a lot of praise

until she no longer needed the reward. This took a lot of trial and error (and

a lot of tears on both our parts) and education. My daughter feeds off of my

emotions so I have to be very calm.

He has been off of casein for about 6 weeks and gluten for only 1 week.

It doesn't help that he won't eat anything but baked potato chips and

corn (I'm sure that means I have to take him off of corn, too).

Now, if we try to give him any of his supplements that taste okay, he

flips out and becomes extremely aggressive. He hits, kicks and screams

until he throws up. It would be easier if I could get anything in

suppository form. He has always been really sensitive to tastes and

textures. I could hide some of it in his food if he would actually eat.

He is so strong willed it makes me crazy. What can I do?

Thanks,
