: If you have gliderade, try mixing a little of that into the leadbeaters mix. I've found that if you stick to the very basic recipe,
: 1/2 cup honey
: 1/2 cup baby rice cereal (dry)
: 1/2 cup apple juice
: 1 boiled egg (with the shell)
: a teaspoon of a good vitamin/mineral suppliment such as vionate
: (no calcium suppliment due to having the egg shell in it)
: we have much better luck getting them to dine on it than if we play with the recipe adding or substituting parts of it.
: Once in a while I add diced steamed chicken for a change, they seem to really like it that way. And they like it even better when I use the broth from steaming on their mix.
: They like it when I blend it with frozen corn too.

The problem with the basic recipe is that she will not touch
any jucie and will not touch honey. But I will try with every
thing else.
: : I have read many of the past posting on leadbeaters diet,
: : the ingredents for the making of it. I have tried several
: : versions that I have gotten from this board. The problem
: : is that mama-g wont touch any of it. She does not like the
: : different juices or the honey and if she even gets the smell
: : of the vitamins etc. that are suggested to use in it she still
: : does not touch it. Anyone have any other suggestions that I can try????
: : I sure would apprecite any help. I have been using cream
: : corn as the base of the leadbeaters with very very little
: : vitamins etc, rice with fruit bits, wheat germ, and the state
: : 2 chicken. She will eat this but I feel that she is getting
: : to much corn. I am also having problems getting her to eat
: : veggies even when I limit her favorite foods. The same problem
: : with fruits. I thought my kids were picky eaters but she
: : has them beat by a long shot. I would appreciate any new
: : ideas and I know mama-g would too.
: : Merry Christmas to all gliders and their families (two and four
