Hi all,
i live in the UK and wondered if any other uk members could suggest a replacement/suppliment drink for when i can't eat. i am new to this disease so not really sure what foods set me off, at the minute it seems all food sets me off. hoping you can all help.
best wishes
sue

People have had success with Modulen, so maybe look into that.

thank you, i will look into that. can you buy it over the counter?

Your GP or GI can prescribe Modulen for you. Alternatively you could get Ensure? It's much cheaper to get Ensure on prescription from your GP, but I believe it can also be bought directly over the counter from pharmacies in a limited range if you ask. Good luck! :)

Hi Sue,

See if you can get to see a dietician and they will give you some samples of various makes and flavours(the choice is almost un ltd)
Son is on fresubin and finds it quite palatable.
