Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 What is in the Brainchild Lemon thing? We were on something similar and switched to chewable that he likes. I dump 5 things (all capsules) and some smell pretty nasty, in Enriched Chocolate Rice Milk (only 3-4 ounces) and top it off with regular rice milk and shake it and he downs the whole thing in seconds. We dumped tons of drinks all summer trying to find a way to hide it. I never gave my kids chocolate milk.but it is such a small amount, I have justified that that is the way to get him to drink all these important things. Also since he drinks it so fast they don't loose the potency. An introduction and a question about our protocol (mixing suggestions). Hello, my name is Amy and I have 3 children - 2 of whom are on the spectrum. We met with our DAN! doctor yesterday and today is the first day of implementation. I have a question about getting the supplements into my 3.2 yo. son? He is very very picky, severe medicine aversion, gagger/vomiter and this morning when I " spiked " his drink he was onto me in a nano-second! It's taken until 30 minutes ago for him to finish his morning doses (and we still need to do pm....aaack!), I am starting low and slow with just a few of the things on our list - so we aren't even up to the full amounts and/of all the things he will eventually require. He is a grazer when it comes to eating and a sipper when it comes to drinking(a bite here, a drink there). Is it ok that he has " some " and then I refrigerate the rest until he's ready for another " sip " ? This morning I administered the following in Orange Juice (but would prefer something else since I know he will get a rash from this). Orange Flavored CLO - Nordic Naturals 1/2 tsp (am and pm) Brainchild Spectrum Support II (part A - Vitamins) 1/2 tsp. (lemon lime flavor) Klaire Labs - Vital Dophilus Plus (1/4 tsp am and pm) Can anyone recommend any other mixing suggestions - we have yet to add Brainchild Intestimend, and Part B. - Minerals (both lemon lime flavored) and I have no idea how I will get it into him - the lemon lime is really powerful. Not to mention we have HNI trio, taurine, igg2000....etc etc. etc. to add. My daughter took everything with ease in lemonade but my son will not touch the stuff (or Sprite). TIA for any and all suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 We found there are way too many things to try to hide it all and that it was too stressful to try and that we felt we wanted to be honest with her anyway (we still don't tell her about MB12 though!) We made up a " yucky vitamins " song and dance that we do each time (and it has mutated several times). We give her a special treat (some small appropriate snack) after each time even if that means she is getting 'dessert' before dinner for her bravery; and we explain how she needs these things to make her big and strong. It was anything but smooth in the beginning; but now, more than a year later, it is a complete non-event. I mix just about everything and slurp it up into three (yes three) oral syringes 2x per day; and she takes them. It has been well worth it.
