Review on 🌱 Kate Farms Adult Peptide 1.5 Sole-Source Nutrition Formula - Plant-Based Protein Drink, Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free, Case of 12 by Matt Zraik

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A great alternative to ordinary formulas.

I am currently retired but have worked as a teacher for people with multiple disabilities for many years. In my class, I often had to set aside some time each day to give enteral formulas (tube feeding) to my students. My wife Marla has Wilson's disease and later in our marriage developed serious neck problems; A complex throat operation (which she underwent) made it impossible for her to constantly swallow food. It's a real shame that our local hospital (and other hospitals in our area) only supplies and distributes outdated, crude enteral formulas (made from many non-natural synthetic products), the exact same formulas we've had to use for decades. return. Kate Farms is a wonderful product that contains healthier, wholesome foods rather than many of the standard formulas full of nasty stuff like sugar, GMO foods (which come from seeds genetically engineered to destroy animal stomachs). insects), sodium and calcium caseinates and corn maltodextrin. Kate Farms has a lot more goodies. Check out their website. The Kate Farms formula even contains a large amount of organic and herbal/extract ingredients. It contains phytonutrients with very beneficial antioxidants. While it's not perfect - none of the "healthier" enteral nutrition products are perfect - it's a big step up from the mediocre standard products. We've tried other "healthy" brands like Nestle Complete and Real Food Blends but had trouble getting them through my wife's gastrostomy. Some of them don't even go through the syringe/bolus when diluted with lots of water! Marla couldn't stand Liquid Hope. Kate Farms formula flows much better and is well tolerated by my wife. She looks a lot better (ie a lot healthier) and has more energy! Highly recommended! Addendum (03/12/20): Update 10/01/2020: Kate Farms has significantly changed this formula (regarding the ratio of MCT oil to LCT oil) without sending letters or giving their customers sufficient notice. For more than two months we had no idea the formula had changed. My wife had digestive issues and other health issues after the replacement.
