Waaay back in the 60's-70's the only metabolic formula that was available was Lofenalac I was a strange child I loved the formula straight with no flavor additions and warm. Nowadays there's a wide variety of metabolic formula. Most I've tried tasted like jock-socks. Of course that's my opinion. The only one that was tolerable is to me was unflavored Periflex only because I tasted similar to Lofenalac but eventually caused lower GI problems.
After 12 years on the Periflex It eveutually ate through my enamel. No one told me that I needed to take extra care of my teeth, I was ignorant. I lost them 2 years ago. So if you still have your teeth, it's not too late, I would suggest the new toothpastes that contains something that strengthens enamel. Or at least rinse your mouth out after you drink your formula.

KUVAN
Cambrooke foods came out with probably the most tolerable of all the formulas--BetterMilk. It's low volume, 1/4 cup water per envelope-or to taste. I've found that it has a sweet scent...kind of like angel food cake batter. The only downfall to this formula, is as it sits it gets thick and hard for me to drink/swallow. I add grape gatoraid and kuvan tablets and drink it within 14 minutes and you don't get that "thickening" I was switched to Kuvan, gatoraid & bettermilk combination due to lower GI problems + burned it my throat from fruit juice. |
