Protein shake needed for 17mo old
Okay….my son is 17 mo. and gfcfsf presevatives and color free,limited eggs all for 2 mo. (I also have a dd 3.5yo on diet for 8mo.). I need a protein shake forweight gain for my son. He eats allof the time…everything and lots of it. He is still so thin. Healso is defienct in his vitamins and some minerals and has a bit of ayeast problem. He is not absorbing all of his food and does turn coldand purple/blue. I need to start trying to plump him up…any ideasand recipes? We are using pea protein powder but not in a daily shakeor anything.

My son was like this. It was because his body could not digest andabsorb fats. I had to add mito cocktail and amino acids, pluspre-load with Omega 6 for several weeks. After that, I was able togive him fats and he stopped being so thin.
For my son, eating all the time and a LOT of food meant he was eatingfoods or supplements he did not tolerate, or he had a yeast overgrowthissue.
Enzymes can be helpful for this.
Pea protein, rice protein. If he is tolerating fats and you just arenot giving much, try adding EFAs and see if that helps.
