Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My son wont take them either so, I coat them in chocolate. Can't gaurantee he will but is worth a try. My son likes the taste but hates the texture of the dry pills hence chocolate works. He has oral defensiveness and taste/texture sensitivities.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi a, My son refused them at first, but realized he can eat more choices if he has the enzymes. I hold up a very desirable food that he can't have without the enzymes and he usually givees in. He even likes the zyme Prime now.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 a- My son refuses the AFP chewable. He'd rather not eat, no matter what the food is. Our only alternative was the powder, snuck into applesauce or juice. a > > My son hates the chewable. He wont take them.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My son, who will do capsules, does not like the chewables either. I thought he would and have 2 bottles - one Peptzide and the other Zyme. I appreciate the suggestions as to how to get kids to take them so hopefully we won't be wasting $$.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My son hated them at first. What worked in our favor was he was gfcf when we started them. There were so many things he couldn't have until we found these enzymes. What worked for him was to show him a cookie and tell him if he ate his vitamins he could have it. Worked. So what we did was do the capsule enzymes mixed in with his food...out of his site so he didn't know what we were doing...and gave the chewables with things he really wanted but if he didn't eat the enzymes it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't get the food. After awhile he just got used to them and it isn't an issue now. It did take a long time to get to this point though. My son like most ASD kids is not crazy about change of any kind, especially with something that goes in the mouth. Just what worked for us. sabels_4 <nmsabel@...> wrote: My son, who will do capsules, does not like the chewables either. I thought he would and have 2 bottles - one Peptzide and the other Zyme.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 We have just the opposite thing in our home. The chewable enzymes have been a blessing for us. Our son hated the capsules, powder, etc. It was hell getting him to take them. Now, my son askes for his enzymes and holds them up to our family and tells them that he takes enzymes. When I give them to him, he just says " thanks mom " ..... Truly a blessing for us. This defintely shows how different our kids can be. And, it is good that HNI gives us alternatives because I dont know what I would do without the chewables. Kim > > > > My son hates the chewable. He wont take them.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Same here Kim! We were giving Kirkman's capsules and opening them up into water (with stevia) and he eventually just stopped drinking it. He's been on them for 6+ months but just stopped the past couple of months. He LOVES the chewables. Also the chewable CLO and Omegas from Nordic Naturals has been a blessing. He won't take the liquid anymore but eats the chewable soft gells like candy even though he's never had candy. -crystal www.sashasrecovery.com > > > > > > My son hates the chewable.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks all, for your help. I tried to give him some in his OJ which he cant normally have (but loves) cause it sends him bonkers. He wouldnt drink it! He tests everything I give him! and he can tell if I put it in or not.....however he has come down with a fever and sore throat so I will wait till he is better cause I am gettting no where right now. But thanks for you suggestions and will try them all. He's such a smartypants...lol Thanks a > > > > > > My son hates the chewable. He wont take them.
