GI for Kids

This year at our dietitian, Madden, presented a case study on one of the sweetest little girls who has made strides using formula.

By switching her from a “standard” amino acid formula to Essential Care Jr, which is made with tapioca starch, she has had major improvements in GI symptoms, blood sugar management, and growth!

After years of only tube feeding, she has also started to take small amounts by mouth 👏🏻👏🏻

Special thanks to for help with this poster presentation!!
