My wife had a very nasty flare-up that is getting better with pred. She cannot eat much (mostly liquids (watery semolina, broth) and soft boiled eggs - a bit of each). She has lost quite a lot of weight. (12 pounds in the past 3 weeks.) Would Ensure be a good idea to supplement her diet or is Ensure tough on the guts?

I don't have the nutritional info in front of me, but I highly recommend ProNourish by Nestle. It is formulated for " to avoid certain ingredients that may trigger digestive discomfort". It has 15 mg Protein, gluten free and okay for lactose intolerance. I would look it up to find out where sold near you- have purchased at Publix and WAlgreens but noticed Publix was getting rid of it. Am going to email nestle about that. It is considered a low FOD MAP.

Try Peptamen Junior from Nestle Nutrition. It is Elemental diet and will be easy on gut

Hello,
Ascertain that she is not lactose intolerant.Ensure is hard on the gut because it is hyperosmolar, meaning it sucks water into the gut. I would dilute it and drink overy 4 hours.
