Additions to Nutrition Message Board

[Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD]

Dear Colleagues,

My apologies for the cross-posting. There are some excellent
additions to the Board since July 31, 2000, the last update. 

The Board is located at:

http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/index.html

Click "Professionals' Bulletin Board" and you'll get a page
of Topic areas. Click on a Topic of interest, then read it, and
add a response if you like; or start a new conversation.

If you have information that could be of general interest,
please consider adding it to the Board -- posting it on the Board
will assure that others can access it later on.

Best regards,
Kathrynne

CLINICAL NUTRITION--INFO,RESOURCES,ISSUES
1) aloe vera juice down feeding tube -- Just got a request from a
well
intentioned family to put aloe vera juice down the feeding tube for
a 15
year old. She is tolerating Ultracal. Is on a vent. Has quite a few
meds. I told the family the juice might clog the tube and we needed
to
make sure the aloe does not conflict with the meds. They are
supposed to
bring me printed information about the product. Can anyone help me
tell
them why we should not do this? Thanks
