Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have been " giving " my 3 1/2 year old dd supplements and enzymes for over two weeks now. She fights me every time. I finally stopped the enzymes because it was really irritating the skin around her mouth, chin and neck from spitting them out. It looks like diaper rash on her face! I have her on the GFCF diet and have decided to just try to sneak the enzyme onto her food when she has an infraction. I have also been giving her various supplements. I can't say I have seen a difference in her at all only because I doubt I'm even getting half the dosage into her each time. I have been doing this with her 3x a day for over two weeks. I have to hold her down and give them to her with a syringe. It is so traumatic for her. She screams and cries. I have tried everything. Singing, rewards, talking to her, trying to make it no big deal, mixing the supplements with differnt liquids. Nothing works. It dawned on me today that I could be trying to feed her her most favorite food in the world and she would still fight me just because I am trying to put something in her mouth. She has been like this since I started her on regular food at around 6 mos. She will not tolerate an utensil. I can't mix it with juice since she will only drink water. I just don't know what to do. I want to do everything in my power to try to recover her but fighting with her 3x/day can't be good for her. She wont even come near me for awile after we're done. Should we take a break?
