Getting a good blender was crucial for us. The "shakes" saved us when Gordon could no longer get down even his beloved oatmeal. I would put in 1 cup of fortified milk, 1 1/2 Boosts, 2 scoops of ice-cream and 3 TB of whey protein powder into each shake. I was adding fruit such as papaya, strawberries and mangos until his tongue couldn't take it any more. Because he's pre-diabetic and lactose intolerant, I had to put drops in the whole milk and add more for the skim milk powder I added to the milk. Luckily I found a "no-sugar added, lactose free" ice cream. We are still trying to get in 4 of these shakes a day, and he's having bits of other things like Cream of Wheat (which works fairly well), applesauce and finely cut up papaya to get him eating soft food as well as having the "shakes". Also "no sugar added" puddings. It's trial and error. To test what he can tolerate, I take a tiny bit of something and give it to him on a plastic spoon. He gets it down, waits a few minutes for some possible backlash and then I get a thumbs up or down. Little bits of this and that will give you an idea of what Volker can tolerate. Gordon can't take yogurt yet, but when he does, I'll start adding that to his shakes. Good luck with it all - feeding is a tricky business.
