Basically its a small tub of white goo the consistancy of very heavy cream. We pour the tub into the bag with the formula. I just googled it and found out Nestle bought out the Novartis products so it is no longer on the website. But here's some info:

We do Duocal and Pediasure, but if I put too much Duocal in the mixture then it won't go through the pump without alarming it all the time. !!</end quote></div>

My husband mixes the duocal with water and thins it before adding it to the bag.

We do Pediasure and, up to now added Peptamin Jr. which is also being discontinued with the Novartis/Nestle merger or buyout or whatever it is. Grrrrr. Our dietician said there isn't a good substitute for Peptamin Jr., so she wants us to start adding baby formula to the Pediasure. 1. I am not sure this will flow through the tubing very well, 2. We won't be able to get baby formula covered by insurance so we're back to paying for it out of pocket, 3. Our powdered enzyme that we've been using (Kuzyme) is also out of production so we have to get used to another new thing (Viocase, I think?). I'll be reading your responses, Jane, to see if anything might work for us!

My 8 yr. old has been on Carnation Instant Breakfast Plus which is 375 (I think) calories per can and CIB VHC which is 575 (I think) calories. It works well for him. Hope this helps. This is also one that you can get 1 free case from CF Pharmacy Services with a 1 month supply of Creon enzymes. If you have a 90 day supply of Creon that you order you get 3 cases of either the CIB Plus or CIB VHC for free. This helps with the cost. You can find out more information under the CF Pharmacy Services under the Extra Helpings section. Let me know if you need more information.
