Sugary formula alternative

[Guest guest]

Ok, all this talk about Pediasure gets me thinking! has been on Nutren

1.5 for

years. This has 1.5 calories/ounce. He went on this because he couldn't

tolerate a large

volume of formula, but needed the extra calories. Dr. H says this is just like

Pediasure in

terms of sugar. She recommended a formula called Compleat Pediatric, which is a

blenderized formula consisting of meat, fruits, and vegetables. 's GI

doctor down

here doesn't seem too impressed by this recommendation. I would like to use

this

formula, but it only has the traditional 20 calories/oz. I would have to give

an

extra 2 cans per day that what he is getting now of the Nutren 1.5 to get the

same number

of calories into him. That would mean being bolus fed in the day, which he will

not want

to do again (he will be 11 next month & is self-conscious about his tube). Also,

this

formula is supposed to be for ages 1-10. Does anyone know of a similar formula

that has

30 calories/oz which can be used for older children?
