Andre’s Story

My Andre was stuck at 19lbs when he was 5 yrs old. After months of trying increased high calorie foods, we saw no weight gain. He was also tested and was told that he was losing a lot more calories than he should be throughout the day because of his involuntary movements, hence needed a lot more calories daily which I really couldn’t do more of what I was already feeding him all day long. He was always able to use his mouth to eat but needed a lot more calories, so we decided to get the g-tube. Since then (over 5 yrs now) we have seen an amazing amount of growth. He is now about 58lbs and is 10 yrs old and almost 4ft! I discovered Liquid Hope from our dietitian about 6 months after getting the g-tube. I was told to give him another formula which I hated right from the get-go because of its high sugar content and other garbage in it. So I was completely overjoyed with Nourish (well Liquid Hope at the time) with all the wonderful ingredients in it! For many years I purchased Liquid Hope/Nourish out of pocket because I wanted my son to get the best nutrition possible through the tube & consistently. Then later Nourish came out and about a year ago we finally got insurance to approve it for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love your products and recommend them to all my friends whose kiddos have a tube and even if they don’t have a g-tube!
