Dear all,
recently my husband is diagnosed with Crohn's dis-ease.
He lost a lot of weight before the surgery (15 kg), and after the operation 10 kg more in 2 weeks, because he can only eat liquids - blended soups and mashed cooked apples (see other thread).
The gastro and family doctor advised to take Ensure drinks.
When we looked at the main ingredients: milk and sugar.
Aren't these bad for Crohn patients?
Before the surgery he couldn't even eat sweet fruit, let alone pure sugars..
But it seems the only way to gain weight now.
What do you think about drinks like Ensure?
