Possible Alternative to cornstarch?? - Deb

[Guest guest]

Hey Deb,

I'm not sure about this, so please check it out before you try it, but I do

believe that I heard you could use PolyCose for night hypo-g, instead of

cornstarch. and that it was even better for kids under one year of age.

Anyone hear this?? True's not much older than that is he??

Pat and Deb,

My husband works for Ross, which makes polycose. It is mostly used to

increase Calories, it is a carbohydrate. It is made from corn starch

and some other ingredients. You can see the product info at

www.ross.com. We used this with Grace as an infant to add more

calories to formula, it mixes very easily. Need Doc. prescription to

get it. I hope this helps.

Better late than never, but we used polycose on for a very long

time.
