[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but if your ped told you increasing calcium will make him taller, then you need a new ped. This would only be the case if your son had had a severely restricted diet for a few years and then moved to a normal diet. [/quote]\

Also thought this was weird and sounds like old wives' tales.[/quote]

Op here. DS was in weekly feeding therapies for a few years because he has low weight between age 2 to age 5. He still has a restricted diet that he does not eat vegetables, limited textures, a lot of junk food and carb, a little bit milk, some meat and some fruit. He does not have a balanced diet, and I have to give him multi vitamin gummies that he does not even take daily. If I force him to eat some food or texture, he will gag and vomit. That is why pediatrican wants him to cut sugar and take more calcium. [/quote]

Will he drink smoothies? Add ice, milk banana and a frozen fruit of his choice and throw it in the Vitamix and you've got a smoothie. You can freeze these as well and make pops.

If he likes chocolate use milk ice chocolate milk mix banana maybe peanut butter That one is high in protein.[/quote]

Smoothies are only slightly better than lemonade. Whenever you process fruits and berries, you take out the main healthy ingredients in them (fiber) and leave fructose which causes a high insulin spike. Smoothie should be an occasional treat, not an everyday drink. He needs to get used to drinking water.[/quote]

Fact check. Blending does not remove fruit fiber. The whole healthy fruit filled with vitamins is still there.[/quote]
