I read that MCT Oil can help our kids gain weight. Where is the best place to buy this product? DD hasn't gained any weight in almost a year. I'm trying to find new ways to add calories.

Hi there , I'm new to the forum . My son of almost 26 years has CF . You can purchase MCT oil at the CF Services Pharmacy (possibly in the '' over the counter '' section of their website ) Some of you may already get their meds from the CF Services Pharmacy or Foundation Care . At the CF Services Pharmacy a 32 oz. bottle cost $17-$18 dollars . I'm not sure if insurances will cover this , you'll have to check . Also check with your local pharmacies as MCT isn't exclusive to the CF community/patients . I would as in anything your trying , talk with your CF Care Center first . More info on MCT Oil

There is also a product in powder form that odorless/tasteless that can be added to just about anything that promotes weight gain , I'll come back and post it when I can remember the name lol

I'm back . The name of a couple of products is Polycal or Duocal , both in powder form thats odorless/tasteless . You CF caregivers should be able to direct you to a local medical supply company who carries them or maybe your pharmacy who supplies your CF meds may carry them if your doctor suggests these .

Thanks so much for your info. I'm calling CF Pharmacy today. We already buy Pulmozyme and Creon from them. I will ask about MCT Oil. DD weight is the same for almost a year. When she was diagnosed she was 2.5 years old and she kept gaining weight until she was about 4. Now she is 5.5 and her weight is the same than when she was 4. I started her on Scandishakes again, but I don't see a difference. Thanks again.

Just going to say, we get our MCT oil at our pharmacy - it cost me $52 for a big jug of it but it lasts a long time. We try to spray it on most of my son's food and he never knows. We are having a hard time getting our son to gain weight too! Good luck!
