Ola, could I have just 1 can?? I want to ask our feeding therapist about it first, but I read on anoter board we could add it to water and Kate prefers water most of the time.
Let me know!

: Yes it is me :-) I am reading your posts with
: great interest because Michael's palate
: surgery date is approaching (it has been
: rescheduled to April 10th). Maybe Kate will
: eat better later when her palate heals
: completely and then will regain weight? 9I
: would think so).
: Polycose is the mix of glucose polymers of
: varying length, it is added to formula/milk
: in different proportions, depending how many
: kcal/ounce you want (Michael had it to 26
: kcal for a while). The peds have the recipes
: (or the nutritionist would ave them also).
: It is only a carbohydrate, so does not add
: protein, and overcomes the difficulty to for
: the processing by the kidneys. It was
: recommended by our pediatrician, but we
: could order only in bulk so now we have
: leftovers...
: Do you think I could post this also on the
: Tracheostomy boards? I could not decide on
: which one to put it, because it is not
: directly trach-related...

: How does the polycose work? Do you just add
: it
: to food, or milk, or formula??? Is it like
: Duocal??
:
: Kate has major eating issues and lost 1/2 lb
: in the last 2 weeks. She's also trached. Are
: you on the trach message board as well??

: For those who use Polycose to increase the
: calorie intake: I have 5 unopened (sealed)
: cans of Polycose (expiry date April 2009)
: which I would like to give away, only for
: shipping costs (or pickup, if someone lives
: in Massachusetts).
: Thanks,
: Ola
