I used this as an elemental diet ( mixed with water) for 30 days as a treatment for SIBO. I have hydrogen SIBO. I first tried two rounds of Xifaxan antibiotics which didn’t work for me as well as a Low Fod map diet. My last resort is an elemental diet. This is a great product and the flavor is great compared to some other elemental ‘s on the market. You do need to use the Unsweetened formulas so I recommend this one only. I found that one tub last me about 5 days for my goal of 3 shakes a day. Some days I would do 4 shakes a day at 3 scoops per serving. Recommends 4 scoops but I was also wanting to loose some weight. This worked out good for me. Once my 10 lbs was lost I upped my dose back up to the 4 scoops and 4 shakes a day to maintain my current wanted weight. I did add a multiple vitamin and a few other natural antibiotics with this. I did get the die off period from the SIBO and felt I needed a bit more magnesium than this product had in it. If anyone needs or wants to do an elemental I highly recommend this product. I’m hoping I have won this SIBO battle !!!

I am so glad to find this here on Amazon! This is a vital part of my self care for flares of diverticulitis and IBS-D.<br /><br />I have had numerous infections and when I have to go on bowel rest, this stuff keeps me alive and thriving! Anybody who has endured these knows that one of the worst parts of Bowel rest is the weakness you get from a lack of nutrition and calories. THIS ADDRESSES OUR NEEDS. Ensure and the like are just awful, nutritionally and taste-wise.<br /><br />My preference is for the unsweetened vanilla or chocolate (sometimes I add a bit of maple syrup).<br /><br />ABSORB PLUS IS FANTASTIC!!

This is my go-to product when my stomach and intestines are misbehaving. I was diagnosed with colitis and this product helps me recover from a flare. I use it as a meal replacement 1-3 times a day depending on my needs.

I bought this to use for an elemental diet to treat SIBO. it failed miserably. i was burping and passing an incredible amout of gas while on a low fodmap diet just eating Absorp Plus. i learned what the reason was. i have another sugar intolerance CSID (table sugar and simple starches in excess), that was missed all my life. this carb shake while huirting me bad, actually brought that condition to light. i can not use an elemental diet on topioca starch when i have a sugar/starch intolerance. thank you so much for exaggerating the issue so i could get the right antibiotics and diet figured out. ive been trying for years without sucess to find the root of my IBS. i had to use a protien shake with low carb/sugar to make my elemantal diet work.

AbsorbPlus French Vanilla tastes very good and is easy to use. It also appears to be easy on the gut system. However, the product information does not mention that it only has 10 servings in a 2.2 pound package. That works out to almost $7 per serving. Doesn't work for longtime use.

I usually buy this from the website. I have GI issues and periodically have to go on the Absorb Plus regime. It has helped me more than medical doctor has! LISTEN TO YOUR GUT with Joni Patel is the website I go to. Mini wrote the book I follow. I had access to the Universiety of Texas GI department here in San Antonio. After 2 yrs, the head of the GI dept. FIRED me as a patient! She said she couldn’t help me any,ore! I’m serious! It was Jinin’s book and ABSORB PLUS that gor my gut settled down. I swear this on my granddaughter’s life! If you’re having chronic IBS-D look into Jini’s program! And follow it! It’s a lot of shakes but worth it! HINT: I put ice cubes in my shakes as I blend to make them more like milk shake. And they fill you up more, too! Good luck!👍🏼🌹THE IBD REMISSION DIET is the book. Available here on Amazon, too.
