Jeni Lynn-

I just wanted to jump into this discussion to ask you another question ( all

of your info has been so helpful!).

Which specific type of NN CLO are you using?

Also, is there any reason why you chose the NN CLO over Kirkmans?

Thanks as always!

Thanks Jeni.

Yes, I believe that Kirkmans is the only SCD compliant one, per our

nutritionist. However, I like the NN products too and was thinking of also

using the NN CLO.

Thanks for all of your help and info.

I appreciate you taking the time to share so much!
