However, the growth spurt plus some results on her vitamin levels led docs to put her on calcium and iron. Oh what fun it is to find vitamin supplements gluten-free!
But we did. Not everyone has a Whole Foods in their neighborhood, but at ours I picked up their 365 Everyday Value Calcium D Kids Gummy Pectin Swirl (Say that 3 times fast) which is gluten free and dairy free. And at the CVS I found Enfamil Fer-In-Sol. While usually given to infants, both her docs recommended it since she's low on iron but not anemic. (Are we having fun yet?)
As for The Kid and how she likes these new morning "treats?" The iron brings on great dramatic gagging. We follow with the gummy calcium -- she gets 2 -- a candy chaser which seems to cut the "super sweet then okay, but then terrible aftertaste like the worst you've ever had." Awesome.
My wife is gluten-intolerant, and unfortunately she suspects she may have issues with pectin and gelatin as well, so she's had a really hard time finding vitamins, maybe I'll see if she wants to give these a shot. Thanks!
