Nutrition is not just about weight.It is also about getting all the things you need for tissue regeneration,healing,energy and digestive motility in an easy and compact manner.There is little point in maintaining weight if you get vitamin or mineral deficiency,and unless the chemical balance of your blood is correct in terms of salts,heamoglobin,white cell count,potassium ect you are going to be very sick.Ensure ,fortisip,carnation breakfast food etc all contain all the components the body requires and have been formulated to replace a balanced diet when you cannot eat.
Vegeatables are not sugar free (beets!!!) Its the age old story really .if you think that works for you ...great but for the ones not as fortunate as you they are life savers.Implying they are forced on patients for commercial gain is really not helpful to people here.No matter what you need to survive this disease someone is making money from it, thats life.
If attitude was all it took to survive then these boards would not have seen the heartbreak and loss it has since i have been a member it helps for sure but only as part of the overall plan
