[tri-med] Re: blenderized diet

Jude,
I am going to see Court's pediatrician tomorrow for a mom/doc conference and 
I'm taking a copy of this recipe for him to check out.  Courtney has severe 
constipation issues.  What I need to know before I go is this, Court doesn't 
tolerate bolus feedings at all, we have her on a pump with continuous feeds 
75cc's per hr for 22 hrs per day.  Her MicKey is 16 french 1.7 ml.  Will this 
diet thin enough to go down that tube and not muck things up with the button 
yet still be nutritionally acceptable?  I really would like to present this 
to him for his consideration.  Also, where do you get flax seed oil?  And is 
that enough feeding for a one day supply?  Do you ever use just formula for 
part of the day?  Courtney's formula is KinderCal TF which is made by Mead 
Johnson.  (30 cal/oz).  We had been trying oral feeding with Courtney using 
stage 2 baby foods, but since she got sick she has refused to eat even ice 
cream and pudding.
Linda, Courty's mom
