I was wondering If I could possibly use the xylitol and a small cup and possible give it to my son after meals like in a medicine dropper? He takes medicine very well and he likes the taste of the xylitol. I went to a health food store and bought it as soon as we spoke. I also bought the tooth paste and also ordered spiffies. I was so happy when you called I wanted to cry, you calling me back showed me you cared about my son. I truly appreciate that! So please let me know what you think about mixing the xylitol with water and giving it to my son in a medicine dropper. Thanks a ton! You truly are a blessing!
