Duocal for Failure to Thrive
If your child is struggling with poor physical growth and has been diagnosed with failure to thrive or another medical condition, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Because of an inability to metabolize food properly, children with failure to thrive can suffer from poor growth and low body weight, along with many other complications. Since there is an innate problem with your child getting the calories they need, many turn to Duocal for help. It’s a high calorie nutritional supplement that is meant to boost caloric intake without protein or any allergens. It’s a safe way to help your child overcome this difficult problem.
There are several possible causes of failure to thrive. One is considered an organic, or endogenous, cause. In this case, it is believed to be an inborn error of metabolism. There might be other conditions present, such as cystic fibrosis, but this is a common cause of failure to thrive. It can be difficult to diagnose and understand, but treatment with Duocal can help children with organic failure to thrive. Because it is a tasteless powder, it can be added to any food or beverage. That makes it much easier for even a picky child to enjoy the nutritional benefits of this supplement. (more…)
