Gramee,

That sounds very difficult. I know there are some medications like Salagen, but best post a thread in the general forum since this is kind of old. Also, to make sure my FIL didn't lose too much weight, when my MIL cooked for him we'd add a lot of extra oil to everything. A LOT of oil. I tracked his caloric intake on thedailyplate.com to make sure he was meeting requirements and adjusted his canola oil instake on that basis.

Remember: fat is a nutrient and very good way to get extra calories. My FIL didn't like drinking ensure too much so this worked well for him. Put oil in his soup and make him take a powedered multivitamin supplement with a strong non-acidic fruit juice such as pomegranate..

Keep trying new things; I don't think he should accept this plight just yet!

And do post this on as a new thread to make sure everyone reads it.
