Making sure your children get the kind of nutrition they need to grow is a concern for every caring parent. But it becomes especially important when your child has a condition that interferes with the body's ability to absorb and use nutrition from many ordinary foods and formulas.

Today, many families and their physicians are turning to EleCare, a nutritionally complete formula specifically designed for the special feeding needs of infants and children with:

  • Severe Food Allergies
  • GI Tract Impairment
  • Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal
  • Chronic Diarrhea
  • Disorders (EGID)
  • Short Bowel Syndrome
  • Malabsorption

As a parent, you want to feel confident about giving EleCare to your child. This Web site is designed to give you that confidence by providing all the facts you need about the effectiveness and safety of EleCare and the role it can play in helping manage your child's specific nutritional needs.

 

 

Personal Review:

This formula has lasted the longest in our family. We tried every other formula on the market, with no luck. This only available from your Dr. I know some people think formula is expensive....if you want to talk about expensive, look at the price of a SINGLE can of Elecare. The very cheapest I have seen it is just under $50 a can. Nope, not a typo, its really about $50 a can! You can get a 6 pack for $239, plus shipping. Oh, and good luck getting your insurance to cover it.

 

But...at the end of the day, you have to do what is right for your child, no matter what the hardship is.
