Codeine phosphate, Citalopram, Omeprazole, Prednisolone were trialled during this time.

"Vital 1.5kcal ONS was well liked and tolerated in a 65 year old male with loose stools and abdominal pain. Vital 1.5kcal helped alleviate prolonged symptoms of malabsorption and contributed to improving nutritional intake. Due to the good taste, high compliance and tolerability of Vital 1.5kcal, the dietitian recommended that Vital 1.5kcal should be used first line for patients in the right medical context."
