Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Penny, It is totally different. Call the pharmacy and get the right thing. Check with your dietician as well.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Bill's right....... I don't know all the ends and outs, but I do know they are different. If you are out of the microlipids, be sure to call the dietitian before she goes home to ask her what to do. And call the pharmacist to let them know of their screw-up.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 MCT oil 'burns faster' than other oils. My son is on the MCT/cream diet and we are able to give him more carbs due to the MCT oil. I would not exchange microlipids for MCT unless new calculations were made. Also, call the pharmacy and educate them a bit Hope you get things sorted out Jenn Re: MICROPLIPIDS VERSES MCT OIL Bill's right....... I don't know all the ends and outs, but I do know they are different. If you are out of the microlipids, be sure to call the dietitian before she goes home to ask her what to do. And call the pharmacist to let them know of their screw-up. Kathy On Wed, 04 Feb 2004 14:53:53 -0500 Bill Barber writes: > Penny, > > It is totally different.
