elemental diets???
my doctor is thinking of putting me on an elemental diet which is pretty much:
An elemental diet is a diet that proposes the ingestion, or, in more severe cases, use of a gastric feeding tube or intravenous feed of liquidized nutrients, in an easily assimilated form. It is usually composed of amino acids, fats, sugars, vitamins, and minerals. This diet, however, lacks whole or partial protein, due to its ability to cause an allergic reaction in some people.
I was wondering if anyone here has ever been on one and did it work? Im 17 so being fed with a gastric feeding tube is kinda of a big deal ..... any advice????
