Needs to gain weight

[kitomd21]

Sorry - the rest of my post didn't appear...
<br>
<br>Here's what we do -
<br>
<br>- Duocal instead of Polycose. Duocal is supposed to be better than Polycose per DD's dietician. Polycose is more sugar while Duocal is comprised of easily absorbed/digested carbs (still sugar, but better form).
<br>- Pediasure 1.5 (300 cals per 8oz)
<br>- Miralax daily
<br>- Enfagrow vanilla toddler formula added to Pediasure
<br>- ZENPEP!!! This may be the most important change for DD. She did horribly on Creon. She didn't gain well while taking Pacrease either.

<P>My kids are picky also and they do not like the shakes, high calorie milk based supplements, etc. My oldest has a g-button and our 6 year old is on the "watch list" for a g-button if he can't get his weight up in the next 3 months. He loves apple juice so we had him try a supplement that Abbott Nutrition makes called Enlive. I know Enlive comes in apple, peach, and berry flavors. If you go to the Abbott Nutrition website you can order it. It tends to get a little expensive but we are actually in the process of seeing if my insurance will cover it even though it is a supplement b/c it helps him gain weight which will eliminate the need for the g-button which would be way more expensive for my insurance. Tucker goes thru about a case a week, there are 32-6.75 oz. cartons in a case, a case costs $37.00 but when you order at least 2 at a time you get free shipping. I would definately try it, I know it is $150.00 a month for 4 cases but it really is worth it if you can afford it. </P>

<P>Also if your child is on Creon enzymes they offer a program where you send in your receipts for you enzymes either 1 or 3 month supply and you get a free case of the Enlive juice for each month supply you have. This help a lot as well and if you need the form let me know and I can get it to you. Hope this helps.....</P>

We make our son a fruit smoothie with:  frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, bananas, apple juice, vanilla yogurt, Garden of Life green powder, and most importantly a T. of flaxseed oil (11g/fat per tbsp).  It is very yummy and nutritious.  <br>
