Undetectable Supplements

[Northernchimp]

My father has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and, upon finding out, has stopped eating. For the last few weeks he's drank tea and a bit of soup, but has consumed little else.

I'm hoping a doctor or dietician can recommend a supplement that I can hide in tea and coffee and maybe soup. He is an awkward sod so would refuse to consume it if he knew about it, so it needs to be odourless, tasteless and colourless but have a huge amount of nutritional value and calories.

I'm hoping that when his chemo is over he'll get some of his appetite back.

Any suggestions would be massively appreciated.

As I posted not very long ago (today?) this stuff is possible useful: http://amzn.to/1klL245

Why is he avoiding food? Depression? Worry? Or refusing to eat anything healthy?

If the latter, you could try making a dessert and sticking Complan in it? You could put plain Complan in soup.

Tea and coffee is going to be a stretch, but soup is definitely doable. Have you tried speaking to his doctor about it?
