I hope I didn't mess myself up

I have been staying away from Ensure because of the carregeenan. Tonight , I had one. I am having a rough time right now.

I stay away from that stuff...nauseating too.
Although I am not diabetic I get along ok with Glucerna but I don't like any of those meal replacements
I think They are mainly milk anyway with added vitamins etc
The solution for me is clear soups made from scratch until I can graduate to a more inclusive diet.
Feel better soon Ron

We use neocate Jr for Ds ( no carragean )
Peptamen also doesn't have carragean ( your doc can write you a script for either )
Hope you feel better
 
Sorry to hear that Ron, Ensure puts me in a world of hurt too. If you can tolerate milk , you are better off drinking whole milk and taking a multi-vitamin. Less chemicals/additives than those meal replacement shakes. Hope you feel better soon!
