RE: Keto diet via G-tube.Jim and Back to STEPHANIE

[Guest guest]

No,we never had a note. He may have written a prescription that the

hospital called in to the home health care company for us. The hospital

set us up with home health care before we checked out from the

initiation visit. We just kept ordering more RCF with our supplies and

there has never been any problem.

Re: Keto diet via G-tube.Jim

Jim,

When you put your RCF through on your medical supplies, sis you have to

submit a letter from your Dr. to the insurance company claiming it as a

medical need?

Keto diet via G-tube.... help

My son recieved his mic-key button and started the keto diet in July

of this year. He is now 22 mths old. Our insurance has denied his

RCF formula and I'm blue in the face fighting with them over it. We

also got Medicaid as a secondary ins. in July. They have been

paying for the RCF. We just found out that we are no longer

eligible for Medicaid after 12/31. We can't afford the RCF as we

are already struggling.

My question: Are there other kids who are strictly tube fed that

use anything other than the RCF while on the keto diet? Can baby

food and cream or anything else be combined for feedings? Is this

hard?

Thanks for any suggestions - I really need them.
