Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Just a few questions about Ensure. I know that some of you have said that Dr.H doesn't like our kids to be on Ensure as it's too filling and they don't get hungry while taking it, but..... Olivia is an eater most days and she eats quite a bit when she wants to. We've been trying to get more calories and protien/carbs into her diet (you all helped soooo much before, she LOVES hard boiled eggs!) one of the suggestions was milk shakes but she's allergic to dairy and soy, wheat and gluton so I thought maybe on her non- eating/poor appetite days I could make a shake with Ensure, fruit and crushed ice or even to have this as a bedtime snack for more night calories. The cornstarch suggestion (from Jenn and Jodie I think) was great!!! no more spilling keytones unless she's sick. YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME!! Question #2... I can't find any pediatric ensure in our area, would I be able to use the adult ensure and water it down half and half?? I hope this doesn't sound too confusing! Leah mom to Ash 9 non-RSS and Olivia 4yrs, 18#, 32 " (lactulose, senokot and zantac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
