Our son started kindergarten a few months ago and is eating it up. Well, recently, he's been drinking it up as he just finished a week-long round of nothing but EleCare. When he had his first round of EleCare in kindergarten in October, it had been about 3 months since he'd had to do a full week. We were a little nervous for him for a variety of our own reasons. He gave us an additional thing to worry about by all-of-a-sudden becoming self-conscious about what the other kids might say about his "smoothie drink"! It didn't take him long to get over that...
Crohn's symptoms have been minimal. We had a GI appointment in September and everything was perfectly normal. No meds, just a little EleCare every day and a full-time week-long round every 6-8 weeks. With the success he has had, our health insurance company agreed to cover 80% of the costs. This has been such a blessing for us!

Hi, I just found your post and was wondering if you are still doing the one week full EN every 6 to 8 weeks and how's it going. My daughter has been doing EN as a way to induce remission and is finishing 6 weeks of Exclusive EN next week, so I am very interested in your experience. Thanks for sharing.
One more thing: what state do you live in? We have not been able to get coverage for the formula.even whit this great success. Thank you again.
Hi -- we're in Washington state. Group Health has covered 80% of the cost of EleCare for us after our local children's hospital covered it for 6 months (which gave us ample evidence to show that it worked for our son).
I'll respond to your first comment with a new post updating where we're at...
