OMG, so glad you posted this.
I was just about to post more questions about carrageenan.... I read the Nutrition in IBD article that Dusty posted (in another thread) and there was discussion in there about carrageenan. NOw I'm paranoid that I'm making him drink 1-2 shakes per day and what if I'm causing damage rather helping!
Am actually going to call S and tell him to cut it down to only 1 shake per day (at the most) while I figure out what I think...
MLP (and anyone else on peptamin) - I know you've mentioned that it took your son a while to get used to the flavour... are they really tough to drink at first, do they taste that bad? I really do believe that the nutrition S gets from the formula help quite a bit and there was that study that showed significant improvement in remicade success rates while using supplemental EN, so I'd like to continue but... I know if S doesn't like the taste, with him being away from home, it just won't happen.
Also, above I posted a link to Absorb Plus shakes - I googled the developer of these shakes, Jini Patel Thompson, and found some negative comments... anyway, haven't tried the shakes so I can't make any positive or negative recommendations about these shakes.
