Alex is losing weight because of her various medical conditions, and I'm trying to come up with some way to keep it / put it back on her. She eats 3 meals a day, and because of her very complicated meds schedule (some need an empty tum), can see no way to add an extra meal in there. I've increased her food to 1 1/3 cans of meat a day, plus she now gets a cup of rice. But the carbohydrate isn't good for her, and I'm trying to figure out something else that might work but isn't carb-related. Now here's the thing...she's on a very low-fat low-sodium diet because of her heart, and is already getting a 1/2 banana a day for the added potassium (her absolute FAVOURITE food *yum*). Dairy doesn't agree with her little tum (or at least not in any great amount). So I am quite frankly stumped...the high calorie things are carbs and fats, and if those are restricted, then what else is there? (Raw isn't an option at this point in her life...her tummy is kind of hair trigger, and such a major food change would not be a good thing!)
Ideas???????
