Re: A Question About Protein

[Guest guest]

,

I don't really have any experience here, but I have heard a lot of

others say that Pediasure is just too heavy and filling. Maybe those

three things are just extremely heavy and filling to her. I know you

said she can drink whole milk and half and half together, but maybe

that just isn't as thick and heavy on her stomach, and maybe it can

be broken down easier than the others????

I don't know. Just a thought. But, it could very well be a protein

thing. Maybe someone else REALLY knows the answer. ) Is ther soy

in those things?

- Have you read the most recent MAGIC newsletter? Cindy

Baranoski (nutritionist for Easter Seals) wrote an incredible

article on formula choices and their impact on children. I am

reading it right now, and it says that the three formulas you listed

are all biochemically the same, hence you are getting the same

results.

Please read her document -- it is in the Winter 2003 newsletter

which just came out in December. I am also going to make it into a

library document and put it in our library.

Could be soy or possibly the corn syrup. I'm not sure what's in those drinks

but I am pretty sure there is soy and corn syrup in all of them. My son does

not tolerate either well. He had projectile vomitting when he was younger

and drank soy.
