How do you make a 2-yr old eat?

[Guest guest]

Hello Vaidyas:

 

I have a 2-yr old who does not like to eat at all. We have tried to

feed her everything that we can, but she only likes things that we do

not give to her, e.g. candies, chocolates, etc. Recently my sister gave

her some chewable vitamins and that, God knows how, seemed to have

helped a bit, but the situation is still grim. She has lost weight and

I am concerned. I was wondering if there is anything that Ayurveda

offers like an oil message, an herb, a rasayana, etc. that would help

her. The problem again is going to be for her to like whatever it is

that I would like her to try, but if it is in small quantity, I can

manage.

 

So, please advise.

 

Thanks in advance,

Deepti

Loss of weight, cravings for typical sugary and refined floor foods

is a pointer to parasites (worms) or candida.

check if any of other symptoms also exist

 

1. itching near anus

2. irregular hunger

3. mucousy stools, semi solid consistency

4. wetting the bed during night

5. small white spots near belly, arm, thighs

6. grinding teeth in sleep

7. saliva dripping from the mouth, especially when getting up morning

8. irritability, tantrums

9. stomach pain sometimes

 

many other symptoms exist, they were covered in a previous post

titled " parasites ambush vaidyas " , but search limits search to

only last 1 year posts, author cant give you link to this post.

 

Does she eat/like curd-rice?

 

If you confirm some of the above symptoms, author will post some home

remedies or some ready formulation, depending on your location.

 

If parasites is the issue, no tonic, massage, rasayan will work.

Parasites will of course become stronger.

thank you,

i have read the post via the link, we however, in our case, think it is

yeast in the system, he also suffers from decreased immune system

response & allergies that we (with bloodtests) cannot pinpoint..

 

what does ayurveda say about chronic yeast in the system?(we do keep

refined sugar to an absolute minimum)

 

thanks again,

Here are the answers to your questions:

 

> 1. itching near anus

 

Not really, but she itches a lot near her clitoris.

 

> 2. irregular hunger

 

Yes.

 

> 3. mucousy stools, semi solid consistency

 

Yes.

 

> 4. wetting the bed during night

 

Yes.

 

> 5. small white spots near belly, arm, thighs

 

Not really.

 

> 6. grinding teeth in sleep

 

Have not noticed yet.

 

> 7. saliva dripping from the mouth, especially when getting up

morning

 

Not really.

 

> 8. irritability, tantrums

 

Yes.

 

> 9. stomach pain sometimes

 

Don't think so otherwise she would cry at least.

 

Regarding liking eating/liking curd rice, I have not tried that on

her, but few days ago, she had plain curd that she liked.

 

she has been running a fever every

now and then over the last few weeks. First time she had fever, we

tried to give her herbal teas, lots of water, etc. and she recovered.

Next few times, we didn't have a choice but to give her antibiotics

as she just did not take water or any herbal tea at all. It just so

happened that after a few times, the antibiotics stopped working for

her!

 

I hope this helps diagnosis of the problem better.

 

Please let me know what you think it is. Home remedies would be great

as I live far off from an Ayurvedic pharmacy -- though if I really

have to get something from the pharmacy, I can manage that too.

 

Thank you so much,

Deepti

Hi Deepti and Jayashri Noel (assumed age of your son less than 10

years)

 

Your replies indicates suffering from yeast infection. Medicines

indicated for Krimi also work for yeast infection.

 

Making medicine from a mixture of herbs may be difficult for you.

 

Follow dietary precautions given in the post:

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/2981

has given many suggestions, important in western lifestyle.

 

Give boiled copper water in warm condition to drink.

 

Since age is just 2-3 years, one tablet of Krimikuthar Ras, crushed

and mixed with honey in a cup can be licked by her 5-10 minutes

before meal, or even in the middle of meal. That makes it twice a

day. If you cant get Krimikuthat ras, use Vidangarishtam, 1 tsp with

equal water after meal. Pharmacy medicine course should run for 40 days. Drum

stick soup is a supportive food item in such cases. Bitter gourd, ridge gourd

soups also help to some extent.

 

If you can get some of the herbs mentioned in above link, you can

mix them in equal proportions and give 1/2 tsp with honey twice a

day. Kadu(Kutaj) is indicated as she has mucousy stools. Neem bark powder or

leaves powder can also be thrown in.

 

Bilvadi Avaleha mentioned in above link also can be given 1/2 tsp if

available.

 

Home remedy is to take a bud of garlic, crush in a cup, add 1/2 cup

curd which is not sour, 1/4 tsp turmeric and give first thing in the

morning. If you get fresh turmeric rhizome, its juice can be used instead of

turmeric powder.

no food for 1 hour after curd is taken. This

eliminates yeast in a matter of two weeks. The itch near clitoris

will reduce in just 3-4 days, which will tell you that you are on

right path. Local application of this medicated curd also helps for

vaginal thrush. Curd should be made from raw milk if possible and in

an earthen pot (uncalcined) if available. While curd is

contraindicated in parasites, it becomes medicine if taken with

garlic and turmeric. It will not cause cold, swellings, increase in

joint pains, as most people attach curd in contraindicated items

with these ailments.

 

Avoid all sugary sweets, adopt all bitters, but not for more than a week,

as hemant rutu is running. Chemical free Jaggery and honey are exceptions. When

you buy honey ensure that residual taste ( in 2-3 minutes) is bitter and not

sweet. you will see how many commercial brands fail on this test, even world

wide.

 

rasam made from fresh Ginger+black Pepper+onion gratings with a pinch of

asfoetida and black

salt mixed will serve a good appetiser and will reduce ama on which

yeast/krimis thrive. One feels light in the stomach after taking

this drink in warm condition. Good digestion takes care of the parasites.

 

Taking antibiotics for every fever, cough and cold lands one into a

more difficult problem of parasites/yeast. and pathogens become more

trained to digest antibiotics. fever, cough, cold are bodies reactions in

cleansing itself, fear of moms allows babies digestive and immune system

suppression by english medicines.

 

All these suggestions can not substitute the check up and local advice by a

vaidya.

 

____________

1. itching near anus

 

Not really, but she itches a lot near her clitoris.

 

2. irregular hunger

 

Yes.

No one can make a child eat,sleep or deficate. I would try compromising

with your child. This is an issue of control - we all need to know that

we have some control on somethings in our life. If you could find some

healthy 'candies and snacks ' and let her choose one PRIOR TO EATING for

AFTER SHE'S EATEN her healthy meal, she may come to eat more and more

often. don't losd up her plate and expect her to eat lots of food. Put

less than you'd think she'll eat so this is successful and she feels she

has accomplished a good feat. Kids want to plz their parents so it may be

a win/win situation. You have a strong willed child and she needs to know

her wants and needs are honored. Best of luck, Chamae
