Switched to a new formula

New year, new formula!

My team has switched me to a new formula by Kate Farms. It’s been a few weeks and so far it’s been great! I was previously using a Garden of Life protein powder, which we’d mix with soy milk, ginger and turmeric. It was absolutely disgusting, too thick to prime, a MESS to make, it was GREEN, and it SMELLED. As someone with already pretty strong nausea problems, this was not the right formula for me.

We’ve been meeting regularly with nutrition to try and max out my vitamin & protein sources in the small amount of volume i’m able to take. Because my feeds go into my jejunum, I have to take them slower and in smaller amounts than someone who is able to feed into their stomach. The nutritionists recommended I switch back to something basic and pre-mixed. I never had great experiences with Nutrin, so we’re trying out Kate Farms. I’m on their Peptide 1.5 and I get the plain.

Drew & my mom love that it’s just a “pour and go” type of thing, and I love how easy it is to travel with. Huge upgrade from having to pack all the ingredients. Plus, it’s white, which is easier on the eyes! We’re giving it 3 months before we see to adding any Pro Source Nutrition into the mix to get more proteins per serving- a great idea to run by your team of you’re needing more protein in your tube feeds.

Excited to see how this new formula pans out for me- it’s been a bumpy road trying to find one that really works. Would love your prayer!

LOVE,
