Mel,



I know if your enzymes are working well you probably don't want to change, but....if you are on creon you can get one case a month, plus a bottle of vitamins free. The only thing about that program is you can't be on public assistance (medicare,medicaid, or a state program) to be eligible.





Tom,



What kind of milk do you use in the mix? I thought that whole milk only has about 150 calories per cup.</end quote></div>

Thanks Teri! I forgot about that. I will inquire about this if I cant get my insurance to cover Ensure. I like the vanilla flavor of that, but I want Ensure Plus which is still not as many calories as Carnation VHC, but if its covered by insurance thats ok.

Mel, since you live in NY you may be able to get some help through the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program (also called the Over 21 program I believe). I have no idea if they will help cover the cost of non-prescription "meds", but if your doctor is willing to send a letter stating the need for a supplement it might be worth a shot. The downside is you might find yourself forced to drink thos awful scandishakes. Not to offend anyone who likes those, but ugh...

I cant get help through them, but thanks. I need something already made. I use to get the schandishakes & tho they arent 'THAT" bad I wasted a lot of it. With what I use now I grab 1, 2 or 3 of them right out of the fridge & go.....


I was willing to try something different, but hubby knows me & would rather spend the $$ on something he KNOWS I will drink rather then something I MIGHT drink.
