| Does she get a good amount of fiber and roughage in her diet? |
| I agree with PP - applesauce or yogurt. Worked like a charm. |
| I give it in gatorade as well. I actually just sneak it in there and don't tell my dd it's in the gatorade. |
OMG I can't believe pediatricians are telling you guys to feed your children gatorade and you're OK with it?
|
| We do 1 teaspoon of Miralax with 4 oz milk daily. |
Not this again, my dd gets bad constipation, so bad that she will get anal fissures from it. I get her miralax and liquids into her any way I can. It's better than looking at blood in the toilet after she sits there straining to poop. |
So if she asked to drink clorox would you allow her? WTH??????? Do yo people even know what's in it? Adults should not be drinking it!!! It's for high performance athletes! |
Gatorade got my daughter, uh, moving as well. You do what you have to do. If the child won't drink enough water to accommodate a full dose of the medication, you give them something they will drink. Contrary to what you think may result from drinking Gatorade, my daughter did not become addicted to it, nor did she subsequently develop a sweet tooth. She rarely, if ever, chooses to drink juice. And she hasn't touched Gatorade (again, her choice) since her bout of constipation. Gatorade was effective for the constipation, and kept her hydrated. |

This is what's in gatorade - 94% water which is what I am trying to get into my dd.
Gatorade is made of water (94% to be exact), high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, salt, modified food starch, mono-potassium sulfate, sodium citrate, emulsifiers and natural flavorings |
|
Hm.. so if it was 99% water and 1% cyanide would you do it too? |
Gatorade is not sweet, darling... it's SALTY! It has just too many electrolytes and it messes up with their system!!! If they don't have an electrolyte imbalance it's harmful!!! It's worse than giving pediasure to a child that is not dehydrated. People with high blood pressure are not allowed to drink G. I still can't believe doctors are telling parents to feed it to their healthy children! |
| Gatorade is expensive water. It's fine for kids. Y'all are nutsoid. What do you do when your precious darlings leave the nest, wrap them in tinfoil? |
|
OMG gatorade has high fructose corn syrup? That is awful. I can't believe it - oh no!!!!!!
In case you can't tell, I am being sarcastic. |
We're not talking about college kids drinking redbull to stay awake just yet. We're talking about toddlers drinking HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETE'S SUPPLEMENTS. Why can't you give your child water then? No, I'm not surprised to see irresponsible or clueless parents feeding their children this crap. What I'm shocked with is doctors giving such suggestions. Unbelievable! |
