My two boys survived on this

Both of my boys take two each day per doctor recommended! My kids are very picky eaters and say not to most all the meals! Thanks to this drink I feel a little better when they don’t eat! I just wish it was more affordable, I sure spent a lot per month on this product!

Please bring back old formula!

With the new formula, my cows milk protein allergic 2.5 year old can no longer drink this supplement. She was not even on the growth chart, but since we had started using the old formula, she’s gained 6 pounds in 5 months, and is now on the 12%! Compared to not even being on the growth chart at all. But now with the added “milk protein concentrate” which allows you to mix the formula with water... now my daughter can no longer drink this. Is there a way to buy all of the old formula that you may still have in backstock?

Powder has been a lifesaver

My son has always been tiny and hovered around the 8th-10th percentile on weight charts. After his pediatrician recommended Pediasure I bought the ready-made and he literally threw the cup across the room (think it had to much of a protein drink flavor). Thank goodness for the powder though. We bought a can of the powder to mix in his regular cup of milk. A scoop of the vanilla (as well as a scoop of a chocolate breakfast shake powder for flavor) in a cup of whole milk twice a day is the ONLY thing that has kept my almost 4yo at 30lbs and up to the 12th percentile. He asks for his cup because he loves it so much. My only recommendations is 1) Make a Chocolate flavor as well ( I hate the sugar in the other powder I have to use in conjunction.) and 2) Please don't stop producing the powder. It is on the expensive side but more cost efficient than ready-made and my son loves it. Thank you Pediasure!

Terrible new flavor

My son has been drinking Pediasure Grow and again for over a year. We recently purchased the chocolate flavored drink and my son immediately noticed a difference in the taste. He hates it and wants to be able to enjoy the original flavor which he loved. I tasted it myself to compare and noticed the difference as well. There is also a terrible after taste which the former did not have. I hope your company reads the reviews and fixes this.

For the picky eater

My 3 year old loves his PediaSure. Even after the bottle and formula change I see people talking about. I personally think it tasted gross after I sampled it, but I'm not a toddler. Its always the first thing he asks for in the morning. I'm going to start buying it by the case.

Thank You from a worried mom

I have to say thank you so much. My son was diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago. His medicine makes him lose his appetite. I have spent the last 3 years trying everything to get him to eat. He is extremely picky and doesn't like anything. Recently my doctor suggested your gain and grow. My son had grow 2 inches but hadn't gained an ounce. He felt your Pedisure might help. Thank heavens! He loves it! I could cry at the relief I feel. I wish it was more affordable, but when I think of all the food I normally have to throw away its a good deal!

Thank you for the powder!

My son cannot tolerate carrageenan (or any other thickener/emulsifier) and he is underweight. We are so glad to have found this powdered version. I wish more stores would carry it. The liquid PediaSure was a no go for us. He would get terrible diarrhea with the liquid and we had to stop. This powder version does not contain any Carrageenan, PS-80 or those nasty Gums. He has been drinking it for a month now without any issues.

Terrible

I buy ready to drink pediasure for my son. He drinks it daily to make up for his nutrtional shortcomings. I thought that this would be a great product to try. I bought 2 cans. It doesn't matter what I do, it will not mix properly. It remains clumpy and/or foamy. It's worse than a cheap protein powder. Now I'm stuck holding 2 cans of unusable powder. Do yourself a favor & stick to the ready to drink formula.

Peace of mind

My son goes through periods, some times he eats well but he is usually a picky eater and a nibbler. Pediasure is a peace of mind to me; during those picky times when he just don't want to even try his meal is reassuring to know he gets some form of nutrition. He likes the taste, particularly the vanilla flavor, some times I even use it as a motivation. I definitely recommend it!

Great product!

I love that you added a powder form of PediaSure. My son loves it, and I like that it is less expensive. I refuse to buy the liquid PediaSure because it is too expensive. I would recommend that you put a measuring scoop with the product to make it easier for customers. Other flavors would be nice too.
