I wish my kid would take pills

I’m so f’ing sick of trying to find ways to get my kids to take their meds and supplements. We’ve started on adhd meds now for my twins. It’s a capsule with little granules inside that can’t be crushed or chewed as they are time released. I can get one kid to eat it by opening the capsule and sprinkling it on honey.

The other kid basically survives on rice cakes and air so there is nothing so far that works. He won’t eat honey, yogurt, juice, ice cream or anything that I could conceivably mix it into . I’ve now resorted to cutting open gummy bears with a box cutter and sprinkling a bit into each one and he’ll take it that way. But it’s not really sustainable to do it that way.

I spent 2 months working with him under the guidance of his BCBA so that he’d take a shotglass of water which we eventually managed to get his crushed folinic acid into. And that worked for a few weeks. But then I tried with these adhd granules in the water and he didn’t like the texture and now won’t take either. I’m so sick of it .

We also see a functional med MAPS doctor and I won’t even get into the small fortune I’ve spent on supplements that I can’t get them to take. He won’t even eat a vitamin gummy for me. Arrrrggghhhh
