It's a matter of taste. Since I did not have a PEG the first time around, the hospital dietician recommended Ensure Plus when I could not eat solid foods after the first 4 weeks. I just could not stomach more than one can a day of VHC. The Ensure Plus was palatable although hardly tasty. The VHC was just too "chalky". Of course, with the PEG, I use the Jevity 1.5 which is like Ensure Plus in terms of calories (355 calories per 8 fl oz can). And insurance pays partly for it, while they will not pay a penny for Ensure or VHC
How is Nutren 2- with its 500 calories? My ENT said her other patients have had cramping and diarrhea issues with Nutren 2 more so than with Jevity 1.5
