Hi. My mom is only using a PEG, not eating or drinking anything. She needs approx 2,000 cal/day according to the nutrionist so we give her 4 feedings each day - 2 with one can of Carnation VHC and the other two feedings with two cans of Jevity each. I do the feedings and am doing fine getting the VHC through the PEG, it just takes a bit longer. According to the nutrionist at the hospital this combo will give her enough fiber. We need to give her 100cc of water after a feeding with VHC and 150cc after a feeding with the two cans of Jevity. If you have access to a nutrionist at your care center or through your gastro doctor, they will be able to tell you exactly how much you need to consume and how much water/liquid is required with each type of food, depending on your specific requirements.

I found a website that delivers the VHC for a flat fee of approx. $6. There is a 2 case minimum order. It is mddirect.com. So far, so good with them. Service seems good. Other than that, I was having a hard time getting the VHC.
