Neocate® Splash – Supports nutritional needs and gives Remington the freedom to stay active

 

Meet Remington! He is 18 and diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a food allergy-related condition. Read his story and how Neocate® Splash supports his nutritional needs and gives him the freedom to stay active and live a normal life. Here’s what Remington wrote when he was 17:

“I’m Remington and I’m 17 years old. I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis at the age of 3 and was removed from all foods at the age of 4.

Remington and His FamilyMy sole source of nutrition has been Neocate® Splash for the past 14 years. Currently I have no safe foods in my diet. Neocate Splash is still my only source of nutrition. My disease, nor my nutrition limit what I am able to do. I attend public school, play baseball, work out daily to keep my muscles healthy and also have a part-time job.

Neocate Splash is portable and easy to carry along, even when I travel. I’ll soon be traveling out of the country to play baseball and Neocate Splash will be there as well. I just need to plan ahead to make sure I have enough Neocate Splash on hand to meet my daily requirements. I don’t know where I’d be today if I didn’t have Neocate Splash to keep me going.”

This year, a year after Remington wrote the abstract above, the Neocate team captured an update on how he is doing. Watch the video below to find out: 

Teens and children with severe food allergies often cannot eat the foods that a lot of us take for granted! To stay healthy, they may need to be on a strict elimination diet and supplement their nutrition with specialized hypoallergenic amino acid-based formulas, like Neocate.

This is a story so similar to ours. My 17 year old son was formula only from the time he was properly diagnosed at 2.5 years. He has been able to add some foods back, but Neocate Splash is a main source. Finding the right friends to understand is KEY.
