Food in general has been a problem for me lately. Any kind of food except liquid seems to go right by two pretty painful spots but liquid seems to go through pretty well.
I got clearance from my doctor that I can do a modified liquid only type of diet. I can't seem to put food through me that doesn't give me pain...even the gluten free stuff gives me trouble. I know I won't starve to death since I'm already about 40lbs (ok 50lbs) overweight. I would really like to go ahead and give my digestive system a good rest. I know that Ensures go down just fine, so I'm actually looking forward to the "rest"
My question is, how many Ensures a day will keep me in good health? I already take a daily vitamin. Should I be supplementing with any other vitamins and minerals? I drink 1 cup of black coffee in the morning and about four 16.9 bottles of water during the day. Applesauce and mashed potatoes go down pretty well too, but I'll skip them if I have to. I haven't been very hungry lately.
I know that someone on here has done an Ensure only diet.. but I can't find where that thread is and if I recall, it didn't mention how many Ensures per day or what was consumed along with the Ensures.
Thanks much in advance!!!!
