Duocal and Neocate to good home.

[misscutandstick]

before i start im not after selling them, so please dont flame and point me to buy/sell! I wanted to put the post here as its the most appropriate place.

I have 5tins of Duocal - its a calorie enhancer, it disolves to practically nothing in moist/wet foods and drinks. It is hypoallergenic. Dates range from June 09 to April 2011. Brilliant for little ones who are underweight without much of an appetite, as you can add it to anything and everything.

I also have 3 tins of Neocate - its a baby formula, which has no dairy, soy, casien or lactose in it. Its made of manmade amino acids. Its very gentle on the tum as its protien strands have already been broken down and designed for babies/children with intolerance/allergy to dairy/soy. Dates are june/july this year. Be warned, it tastes revolting, but babies can get used to it.

I am passing them on now, DS5 who is intolerant to everything(!) we have finally got his diet sorted and under control, his gut is on the mend and hes finally putting on weight! YAY!!! But these products were a lifesaver!

Although they are prescription only products, they cannot be overdosed on, or taken incorrectly as one is a milk substitue and one is a powdered oil. On private prescription you are looking at between £20-25 per tin each. I only ask a little towards postage as they are VERY heavy.
email me if you are interested misscutandstickatyahoodotcodotuk.

Thanks for reading. XX

Bump for you. you're very kind to want to do this.

thanks Hecate, i know theres someone out there whose little one could do with trying it .

bumping again for you

Please just take them back to your chemist for disposal

I offered some neocate recently FFP as i felt it was a waste to take it back to the chemist for it to be binned when someone who didn't have a very understanding GP might have wanted it.

I got no takers though.

Trixy thats exactly how i feel!

It was a mare to get hold of!

You read so many posts about people whose GP won't prescribe it and they are forced to buy some themselves at £30 a tin or whatever it is. I thought somebody must want it.

I was thinking about ebaying it and donating the money to Yorkhill children's hospital.

TBH I fought really hard to get DD on neocate and in the end got one tub free from someone on MN and only then when DD improved did I get it on prescription so from my personal experience I would hang on to it and see who needs it iyswim.

Thats what I plan to do if I have tins left...

And yes DD's small tin in £30 a go

So deffo think you are doing the right thing...

If you've still got the duocal I'd be interested. I just had to pay £80 for 4 tins for ds2 who is really quite underweight (17 lb at 11 months). Would be prepared to pay a bit and then you can still donate it if you want.

I dont mind sending it on to you at all! Email your address and i will send it on Monday. email misscutandstickatyahoodotcodotuk.

Incidentally ive found a home for the Neocate as well, over on Bounty. But i still have a few packets left, although the tins have been taken, if anyone wants those.
