Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi Liam has a gtube and quite bad reflux, at present he is not eating anything, he does however drink some water, we are finding that he drinks more the colder it is. I dont know if the coldness stops his throat hurting or its just ne of those things. If I put ice cubes in a blender and make snow(as liam calls it) he will sit and eat/drink the whole cup. Do you find Colin drinks different amounts if its colder or warmer? About the carbs, have you ever added polyjoule, this is a complex carbohydrate powder, that we add to Liams formula to maintain his blood sugar and add calories, it hasnt got much taste and dissolves easily so you can add it to any food, if you cany get polyjoule i think polycose is something similar available in America. Good luck Jody(mum to Liam RSS and Cameron) > > Do you have a hard time getting your gtube kids to drink a big > volume of liquids?
