WhltbyFree Pees,,Wednesclay, Marci, 22, 1995, Sandoz developS. new pediatric feed ing frml Early NASA-funded research to develop space-age food for astronauti was combined with rocent feeding trials in Canada e~nd the, U.S. to produce a nutritionally complote formula for children wit problems dige stiînJ and absorbing food. The Canadian division .wth the. head office in Whuib7,of Sandoz Nutrition- Corporation has introduoed -Vivonex Pédiatrie, a new pediatric feedng formula that has no amino acids. This means that ail of its protein can be readily absorbed without digestion a must for chilren 1osufer from such ailmenta as severe food allergies, Crohn. disease, intractable diarrhea, AIDS with atrntestinal impairment, or tose who have had intestinal sUrgery. On. such advantage is that it offers a well tolerated nutrition source for infants allergic 'te mother'. milk and cow's rilk. Until now, doctors treating children have had to use adult formulas. This was poorly suited to young patients bocause of widé iferences between the aduit's and the child's calorie needs and kIdney function wen it cornes te nutrition supprt, children are flot simply littpie e ulta," says Dr. Ernest Seidman, pedîiatric, r tronterlogy depiartment, "&hen you modify an aduit formula for use 4y a child, you must ras the level of1 monitoring as well as the cost." 1 Vivonex Pediatric can b. used as a tube-feeding or an oral supplement. Ini the latter case, it is available in orange- pineapple, cher-vanila, vanm ila, raspberry or lemon-lime flavours. Although the technology i. based on adult Vivonex the composition of Vivonex Peciatric ia specifically tailored for children aged one to nine. It meets or exceedé the standard for hi4h-quality proteins jointly estabhsheèd i n the 1989 'report on protein quality issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organzation. Obtaining 25 peroent Of its calories for fatý Vivonex Pediatric is relative y low in fat, as compared with- standard infant formulas which provide 40 te 50 per cent of calories of fat. Among the 100-per-cent free amino acide present in Vivonex Pediatrie are taurine, carnitine, argnine and glutamine; studies idcate the latter nutrient plays an important role in restoring and maintaining bowel function. According te Mike Hill, executive directer of, Sandoz Nutrition'. Canadian division, OVivonex Pediatric,' with its 100- per-cent-free ainino acide and unique fat content, i. particularly useful in aiding the transition from intravenous feeding te a normal diet because it requires. minimal digestive effort.

"It i. also indicated for persons with severe food allergies or with short bowel syndrome followering surgery, radiation or chemotherapy tr.Eatme Pn t."
