Geriatric nurses, can you help?

Published

I'm needing some nutritional resources for a patient who has a FTT (failure to thrive) dx. Doesn't want a Peg, but will eat certain foods with a very good appetite.

One is ice cream. I recall that there used to be some ice cream supplement called Magic Cup that I would like to get for him, but I can't find the website.

Can anyone help?

There is a product called Kemps; much like Ensure but has flavors like Rootbeer Float and Cherry, as well as several other flavors. Not syrupy thick and sickening sweet like other supplements. We do use Magic Cup. Will ask where they get it next time I work.

I did a quick search and found that you can't order online that I could find I did find an 800 number for Hormel on the page that is with the website 1-800-866-7757. Also I found a similar product called Mighty Shake here http://www.4webmed.com/mightyshakes/

Hope this helps.
