During my first round of OC, I added a can or 2 of the VHC to my prescription formula (also ordered online from Amazon). The Boost VHC was twice the calories the formula was so it helped lessen what I needed daily. It used to be around $40 a case which included shipping.

There are now diabetic formulas out there too. Find whatever one of the professionals from your sisters medical team is best with the feeding tube info and formulas then ask them all your questions. Even Speech pathologists can be very knowledgeable about those kinds of things.

Good luck!!!
