E028 Splash

Asher is undergoing a new food trial: E028 Splash. It, too, is elemental formula but there are many anecdotal stories of children with eosinophilic esophagitis who have reacted to something in it. We cannot assume that Asher can drink this stuff safely.

These "juice boxes" have rocked Asher's world. They add a bit of flavor to his life and make him feel like all the other children - because he, too, can have a juice box. He's thrilled. I'm thrilled to find something which could be safe AND nutritionally complete.

So far, the trial is going exceedingly well. He has been drinking the juice boxes for at least a week with no sign of side effects. In fact, I just ordered a month's supply of grape, since that's the flavor he loves the best.
