We are holidaying from the UK in December. Our son is gastrostomy-fed. Does anybody know if we will be able to obtain Nutrini (or the US equivalent) on a UK prescription?
The Pediasure that you will find at Walmart and Publix is the oral supplement type of Pediasure, not the enteral (tube) feeding type.clkelley said:Oh absolutely. As a matter of fact, most grocery stores will carry PediaSure at lesser cost than a pharmacy/drug store.
Publix and Wal-Mart SuperCenter are the major chains in Orlando that should carry that stuff.

We are also from the UK. We travelled last year with our son who is tube fed.
We took it all with us as our son reacts badly to a change in feed.
We rang our home supplier who sent a hard box on wheels, that I managed to get 3weeks worth of feed into as well as all the giving sets and there was a bit of space for some of his pads too. The real bonus was a nice big empty box ready to be filled on the way home!!!![]()
We carried the feed pump with us in our ruckscak and with an adapter it worked well. Our sons feed is Nutrison Energy which comes in 1 litre soft bags which travelled well. The airline also gave us extra luggage allowance to cover medical suplies.
