I don't think anyone on here uses this, but I imagine it tastes similar to Peptamen Jr.
The dietician said to add Hershey's Strawberry syrup to vanilla to make it more tasty and to serve ice cold. How much syrup? I'm already up to 3 teaspoons in 4oz of Peptamen 1.5, and Catherine is still turning up her nose. She's got to drink this stuff since she's been cut off from her beloved kefir (no more dairy until we get her RAST results) and she surely isn't going to magically start eating more.

Hmmmmm...is it the unflavored? If so, I'd think you could probably add whatever you wanted to it. No chocolate though for the RAST, right? Don't some people add koolaid packets to Neocate...or did I dream that???
I know you can also buy flavoring packets, like for Neocate and such...check the Nutricia sites as well as the Nestle site...I know they sell packs, too. I'd also ask if it comes flavored...they make chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry Peptamen Jr., but I have no clue about the 1.5.
can she handle vanila if so vanila esence

Here's a link to Nestle's flavoring packs.

I was going to recommend the flavoring packs from Nestle but Lindsay already got to it. We used those packets for alongtime and KC loved them. The come in orange creme,choclate,frnh vanilla,bananastrawberry an one more flavor but I can't remember. They will deliver when they deiliver your peptamn1.5 bt you haeto request it. Good luck.

It is already vanilla flavored in the can, but that's not cutting it, lol.

I'd say go w/ the packs and give it a try. Maybe if you call Nestle they'd have a starter sample pack you could try, before you bought a whole case.
