Hi--actually I misunderstood...the powder packets come
flavored--strawberry-- and I have to add to 2 tsp water and give that
way...if that does NOT work we will try switching to prilosec and putting it
in a  syrup...I understand the berry concerns...that's one of the reasons I
was trying to get it into him unflavored, but this not working :( Nancy
