My child has severe pancreatic insufficiency, is Failure to Thrive, and has had Chronic Diarrhea for all 21 months of his life. We are still searching for more diagnosis'. His new Dr. has put him on Viokase Powder to be added to formula, breast milk or food before each meal. My ds also has severe feeding aversions and is 95% breast fed. We found Peptamen OS that he will tolerate and are trying to transition him to it and to solid foods.
How do you give Viokase powder to a toddler? Can a pharmacy flavor it? Can you mix it with chocolate syrup? I tried applesauce and had to force feed it with a syringe, like I did with Ceron, but this stuff tastes horrid. I gag on the applesauce myself. Please help.
