Getting Modulen in USA

I'm trying to get Modulen for my mom who was just diagnosed with Crohns yesterday, but has been suffering symptoms for months. She is cachexic and I really want her to try Modulen, but we live in the US and apparently it takes 2-4 weeks to get here from U.K. And Canada. Does anyone know of a source that ships here faster?

In the US
They use peptamen which is similar and has been studied in (exclusive enteral nutrition-formula only - no food ) as a treatment for Crohns instead of steriods
It's semi elemental formula used to treat Crohns
Ds was on the kiddie version peptamen jr for 9 weeks of een
And continued for years as a supplement to his maintence meds

You can have the GI prescribed the formula through your insurance companies durable medical equipment company (Dme ) - not through the prescription coverage at a pharmacy
Dme covers it as infusion supplies

Some can use polymeric formula

Must need semi elemental (peptamen or peptide )
Some need elemental amino acid based (EO28 splash / Vionex etc...)

Two main carriers in the US
Abbot and nestle nutrition
