Elise did a blood test through our naturopath. It showed she is unable to properly digest carbs or fat and can’t process vitamin B or D effectively. In addition, she has yeast overgrowth inside her gut. The plan is to give her high doses of B and D in liquid form, plus protein shakes, pre and probiotics and fungicide. She can’t swallow pills yet. These meds were awful! We tried dilution but that only spread the bad taste into a large quantity. I tried baking the B into speculaas- nasty! We tried reward- a new piece of clothing from a recent Old Navy order. We tried a timer. We tried withholding snacks. It could take over 2 hours per day to get it all down her. 😢. It was a really hard month.
I ended up switching to a B gummy. It was missing riboflavin and niacin but had the others. We stopped the protein shake in favour of more eggs and meat every day. The fungicide she just had to be brave and drink.
On the plus side, she did seem to get more energy for hiking the new Little Mountain stairs. And she gets fewer stomach aches.
