Pediasure Substitute? Vitamins?


Lyndsey

Recommended Posts

Lyndsey Newbie

Like many toddlers, my son does NOT eat his veggies. I have occasionally subbed with Pediasure and he gets a gummy vitamin every day. We are currently transferring our home to wheat and gluten free. Does anyone have good recommendations for gluten free ways to supplement vitamins and veggies? Are the V8 juices gluten free?

I am gluten intolerant and have been on and off the wheat free/gluten free diet for years. Lately, I've been back on the diet, and have started to see a few of my symptoms in my son. So, I'd like to get him as close to gluten free as possible. He loves the PediaSure "milkshakes" he gets every so often, and loves his gummi vitamins. However, I KNOW that both of these products use gluten as a filler. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!

Lyndsey

I'm confused, because according to the Pediasure website and someone I spoke with on the phone, Pediasure does NOT contain gluten. My daugher won't drink straight milk, so we mix it half and half with Pediasure (strawberry) and we have never had any problems.

I use the gummy vites (Says gluten free on bottle), vitamin water (read the lable they have different vitamins per flavor and does seem limited), also I use pasta made with quinoa which is very nutritional. My daughter does eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is still difficult sometimes. I have melted cheese on the brocolli and this has helped. And believe it or not I would put a vegetable on my child's plate (a reasonable portion) and told them if they didn't eat it I would give them more. I got the tip from a friend and it really worked.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
