personal poo problems

Attempted to try a Madulen only diet , started two days ago, couldn't handle it and an now simply on a low fibre diet... But... Since the first drink my poo has bern nothing but yellow liquid with a diabolical smell... Also urine is looking like orange squash and completely odorless... Any one else got any thing similar from this vile nasty liquid diet??

A liquid only diet will mess with your stools. (Not sure about the urine... too much beta-carotene? dunno). I've been on a couple of liquid diets. The Fortisip one, where I allowed myself soups, smoothies, etc. as well, wasn't too bad, but the Elemental 028 one was horrific. The latter is an elemental drink where basically all the nutrients have been 'predigested' (broken down) into their simplest parts, e.g. proteins into amino acids.

It literally tasted and smelled like artificially-sweetened vomit. I lasted 2 weeks. If I'd stayed on it the full 6 weeks, I reckon all my hair would've fallen out and I'd have been sectioned, I was that mental on it.

Liquid diets have a good track record for children with small bowel Crohn's disease, but don't seem to be as effective for adults or for disease in the colon.
