Ensure, Ensure plus, and the other liquids that are high in fat and calories and sugar are the liquids I MEANT to write of yestgerday when asking if it waas safe to give for a prolonged period.. I was just informed that Nutrical is a gel-not the liquid in cans. I was referering only to the liquid when asking if it was bad to give on a prolonged period. Maggie just let me have it for this one. She should. if Nutrical is a gel in a tube. Lisette [Posted in FML issue 3153]
