Need help w/16 yr old on Elecare

[Guest guest]

Hi all...I have a 16 yr old kid (17 in November) who is on a Regular

diet (poor PO-5%) and is on Elecare.

He gets 4 scoops in 6oz water 8x/d = 340.5kcal, 49.28g protein, and

1440ml water/d via PEG.

His BMI is 17.6 (5-10th %tile for his age); was born at 32 weeks and,

per the H & P, was only 2# at 3 months.

He has Asperger's Syndrome w/ADHD. He takes Prevacid and Adderall.

I would imagine he would need like 75% of his needs (give or take) via

the tube...what formula would you suggest?
