MCT oil is sometimes used to offset the caloric reduction when
long-chain triglycerides found in dietary fat are restricted, usually
in chronic infiltrative diseases of the small intestine or when there
is fat malabsorption of any cause. Because of expense and unpalatability,
many clinicians are bypassing MCT oil and having their clients
prepare homemade, highly digestible, ultra-low fat diets (e.g.,
white turkey meat plus rice/potato) or using very low fat prescription
diets.
