Your brother's gastro doctor or nutritionist should be prescribing some type of liquid nutrition. There are hundreds of different ones available in the US. Ive been on several different ones myself. Check with his doctor and see what he recommends. In the US a doctor will write a prescription and a medical supply company will send the patient cases of that type of formula along with the necessary supplies.
If your brother has had an IV, then dont worry. Some IVs are designed to supply all he would need for a brief period until he gets onto the nutritional formula.
Another idea is if you cannot find anything that will ship to Mexico, then you can always purchase it here in the US and ship it there yourself. I know that takes longer but better to have it get there a couple days later than not at all. Hope you find a solution with all the suggestions you have gotten.
Good luck with everything!
