Hello everyone,
For the life of me, I can not remember the sugar free alternatives
to
Ensure/Boost that were mentioned at the Symposium.
One alternative I know of is Glucerna. I switched to it when my vet
put my Meeko on Ensure with A/D and ground I/D, thinking I was doing
good by her. She crashed, got AWFUL mustardy yellow diarrhea and
was as limp as a noodle. I brought her in and he was adament that
they NEED the Ensure.. The Glucerna, according to him is full of
sorbitol and that alone can cause the diarrhea. She's back on the
Ensure and doing beautifully. I'd be careful to replace the
Ensure!
