Jodi,

Peptamen is predigested so it goes through their little systems faster since

most of our kids have serious delayed gastric emptying. At least I think

so! :-) I'm sure I'll be corrected if that is not the case, but I believe

that is the advantage. It is also 30cal/oz and even comes with more

calories if you use Peptamen 1.5. Sorry I don't know how many cals are in

the 1.5 we just use regular Peptamen Jr. and love it!! Alyssa very rarely

throws up nowadays!!!

Judith,

Let us know about the Peptamen with Fiber after you try it!! Wouldn't it be

great not to have to use Miralax!! One less medication!!! YEAH@@@

Judith,

I just read your posts. I can hear the relief in your voice. That

would be pretty nerve racking not knowing for sure whether you were

going to be able to get the formula. Thank goodness for the nice

Nestle guy! )

Wow, that is interesting about the Peptamen with fiber added. I would

be interested to hear how it works for . You will have to keep us

updated on how he is doing on it. What is the benefit of Peptamen

formula? I have heard several of you guys using this, but I don't

really know why or what the benefits are. is on Elecare 30

cal/oz. formula. Does Peptamen also have that many calories?

Thank for any help you have to offer on the Peptamen and I am so glad

that you got your problem solved! Awesome. )

Hey Dayna,

Are you sure that PeptaMin Jr is predigested?? I didn't think it was an

elemental formula, but we don't use it, so I'm not sure. I thought the

reason that Dr H liked the PeptaMin so well was that it is low in sugar, and

formulated to be more easily digested, something to do with the osmolity???

Am I wrong??

Thanks for any info you have!

HI

I was just following along on the site and my son is on peptamen JR. The back of

the can says that it is a peptide based elemental diet for children with

impaired GI function.The lipid blend contains an MCT?LCT ratio od 60/40 to

enhance absorption and to meet the fatty acis recommendations for children what

ever that means. , but it is lactose and gluten free. I hope this helps
