Question 1

could two pediasures a day make a toddlers urine smell?  i can't get him to drink many clear liquids.

Accepted Answer

Likely Concentrated: If all he's really drinking is two pediasures, then he's probably a little dry. His urine may be a little concentrated, giving it a smell. He should be drinking nearly triple what two pediasures would give him, in either milk or water. Plus vegetables and fruit which are high in water content. Make sure he's well hydrated, and contact his pediatrician if you're unsure that that's the issue.

Question 2

can i give ensure drink to my underweight 14-yr old son or pediasure is safer?  he is a very picky eater.  thank you.

Accepted Answer

Picky eater: I would you suggest you discuss with his doctor if he is due for a well child check to check his growth and be sure there is not another reason if he is underweight

Question 3

my son eats okay , loves pediasure wants to drink more than 2 per day. is there a reasonable number of bottles he is allowed daily? he's 4y 44lb ~4ft

Accepted Answer

Dietary supplement: Pediasure is helpful for underweight children or children who cannot eat regular food in adequate quantity.  In your child's case I would treat it like a milkshake - occasional treat.   Focus on a balanced diet and enough ordinary milk intake.

Question 4

my age is 23. can i drink pediasure to gain weight...

Accepted Answer

Yes...but: You can gain almost equivalent benefit from a less costly option. The Carnation Breakfast Essentials come in packets that you can add to the milk of your choice.

Question 5

can my 16 year old drink pediasure?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. It is just another form of nutrition. You can achieve a similar nutritional benefit with Carnation instant breakfast packets added to whatever milk product he likes for a fraction of the cost. It is available in vanilla &amp; other flavors.

Question 6

can 16 years old boy drink pediasure ,can it negative or positive effect on thier height?

Accepted Answer

: If your diet is deficient it may replace some of the missing nutrients and help. However, an x-ray of your wrist/hand can be assessed for growth centers. If yours are closed, nothing you eat/drink/do will add height. Open centers mean growth can continue. If you grew less than an inch in the past year you are near the end. No growth in a year=you are done.

Question 7

how can i encourage my toddler to drink more clear fluids. he seems to have no interest in them. only likes pediasure?

Accepted Answer

Slow weaning: Very, very slowly dilute the pediasure with water, making a change every few days.If you are patient and proceed slowly, you can wean him to basically water.Works every time.

Question 8

my son has a g6pd defiency. i am giving him pediasure milk formula which contains cows milk and soy. is it ok for him to drink this formula? so far he likes to drink it. but i am worried if its not good for him and what will happen to him. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Soy oil products might trigger problems with g6pd  deficiency , so  it would be advisable to use a formula without soy . You can access advice about all the  food and medicines   to be avoided, at the website , http :www.g6pd.org

Question 9

i mix feed my baby with breastmilk and nan hw one, but yesterday i accidentally gave him my 2yo son's pediasure. now my 6mos old wont drink his milk.

Accepted Answer

Pediasure: Once your baby tasted the sweetness of pediasure he balked at drinking bland breast milk. Dont give pediasure, but be patient and he will start breast feeding again.

Question 10

is it safe to drink a cup or two of spearmint tea every day? i have been drinking it to keep my skin clear.

Accepted Answer

Safe: But no tea will have the slightest effect on your skin. Nuvaring may cause acne. If you have severe acne you can clear it with oral spironolactone and/or change to a birth control which makes acne better. Orthotricyclen and Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) are used to inprove acne. Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is better. Both are usually prescribed as generics.
